For the first time in 46 years, to celebrate King Charles III’s coronation, Boultham Park’s Picnic in the Park event will welcome boating on the lake.
On Sunday 7 May, between 11am and 4pm, visitors can experience the park’s newly restored lake in a different way, and get a little closer to nature on the rowing boats!
Last enjoyed on the lake in 1977, groups of up to five can row boats across the water for around half an hour each time.
A total of six boats will be available, three smaller boats holding up to three people, and a further three boats holding up to five people.
Prices:
Small boat: £2.50 per person for 2 people, £1 extra for a third person
Medium boat: £2.50 per person for 4 people, £1 extra for a fifth person

Lincolnshire’s healthcare is preparing for winter with projects like acute respiratory hubs to address the expected surge in demand at this time of the year.
Rebecca Neno, Winter Director for the Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, stressed the significance of these hubs for local respiratory care, addressing the NHS’s recurrent winter challenges. The Clinical Assessment Service, via the 111 helpline, swiftly connects Lincolnshire callers to local clinicians for home assessments.
