Teddy Bear Boat Rides

Bank Holiday Monday 26 May 2025

This annual event is usually held on the second May Bank Holiday Monday at The Granary Tea Room in Sudbury.

We offer free boat trips for young children and their teddy bears when accompanied by a fare paying adult.

Enjoy our riverside location and relaxing with friends and family. The Tea Room will be open offering a selection of hot and cold drinks, snacks and lovely homemade cake.

Buoyancy aids are provided for all child passengers and there will be multiple boats offering trips approximately every half hour with a bankside ticketing system on the day. However, we are also offering a limited number of pre-bookable places (click on ‘BOOK ONLINE’ link below).

Proceeds towards the Restoration, Conservation & Education of the Suffolk & Essex River Stour Navigation.
