Music on the River

After the success of previous years, we want to keep the tradition going. Last year we have two amazing acts, all with different styles, to entertain you whilst out on the River.

Music on the River is the perfect choice for an evening out which is a little different! Spend a magical evening floating past the magnificent College Backs whilst enjoying some beautiful music.

Our flotilla of boats will slowly glide up to the Mill Pond and back to Jesus Green, the ‘college backs’ with be bathed in the evening sun (we hope) and you will be entertained and enthralled.

Both Private & Shared tours are available and prices start at £50 for 2 people.
