Bradford and Bingley Canoe Club and its members are dedicated to promoting canoeing and kayaking for fun, fitness, and friendship. The Club is active all year round, there are planned activities throughout the week as well as weekends. Members of all ages and abilities are encouraged to compete in canoe slalom and down-river racing as well as river trips and social events throughout the year.

Bradford & Bingley Canoe Club is proud to affiliated with British Canoeing and accredited on their Talent Club Champion programme.

As a club we work closely with the sports governing body to ensure we meet their required standards across all disciplines, from safety to leadership. Working closely with British Canoeing also ensures we are able to promote suitable pathways for developing paddlers as they progress through the sport.

Bradford Clean Air Zone (CAZ) Our event is held outside the Zone but many of the main routes to the site pass through the CAZ. There is now a daily charge to drive in the CAZ if your vehicle does not meet required emission standards and it is not exempt. Charges will not apply to passenger cars, however, charges may apply to vehicles such as mini busses, vans and campervans, particularly if they are older models. Please check: https://www.bradford.gov.uk/breathe-better-bradford/where-is-the-clean-air-zone/where-is-the-clean-air-zone/ to see if CAZ affects you. 

Avoiding the Clean Air Zone - If the charge applies to your vehicle, we suggest that you check the map via the above link and devise a route avoiding the Zone. 

Please Remember – most vehicles will NOT be charged! 

Directions - Sat Nav BD16 1LT. 

From Bradford direction - follow the A650. At the roundabout near the Mercure Hotel, take the first exit and continue towards Bingley for about a mile. Wagon Lane is on your right just after the river bridge.
