Oxford Picnic Cruise

Experience the charm and history of Oxford on a relaxing picnic cruise along the River Thames. This scenic journey takes you past iconic landmarks such as Christ Church Meadow, University boathouses, and the famous regatta course.

The route follows the footsteps of literary legends, including Alice Liddell and Lewis Carroll, adding a magical connection to Oxford’s rich storytelling heritage.

Aboard the vessel, enjoy a delightful riverside picnic provided by The Folly, featuring finger sandwiches, homemade quiche, scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and refreshing elderflower presse. Relax and soak in the serene landscapes of Godstow and Trout Island, inspiration for C S Lewis. Private cruise options are available for small groups, while public trips operate daily between spring and autumn. This immersive experience combines sightseeing, literature, and nature with a leisurely riverside lunch, creating a truly memorable Oxford adventure for couples, families, and friends alike.
