Trinity maintains a Punt Scheme, which is open both to members of College and to members of the general public. The punts are located off the Avenue, on the east side of the Cam next to Garret Hostel Lane (just east of New Court). Punts are available for hire each year from the Thursday before Easter (Maundy Thursday) until mid-October. The Punt House usually opens each day at 11 am (Mon – Fri) and 10 am (Weekends). Hiring finishes at 5.30 pm. and punts must be returned by 6.30 pm. each day. Only members of the College may hire punts overnight, by prior arrangement with the Punt Keeper.
We pride ourselves on our warm welcome, unrivalled service and have designed our services around you. Treat yourself to one of our award-winning Cambridge tours or explore the river yourself on one of our punts, kayaks or Canadian canoes.
We cater for both recreational and competitive paddlers who wish to take part in all forms of canoeing and kayaking in and around Cambridge. Activities take place all year round and include local and national paddling trips on both flat water and white water. We also have regular pool sessions at the Abbey Swimming Pool where beginners and experienced paddlers alike can practice technique and receive instruction in warm water conditions all year round.
We are an active friendly BSAC registered diving club based in Cambridge with around 57 members.
