The Pirate Castle is a boating and outdoor activities charity with a distinctive, fully-accessible community centre on the bank of the Regent's Canal, in the heart of Camden Town.
We promote life chances, learning and healthy living through a raft of canal-based and community activities and have been flying the flag for opportunity and adventure for over 50 years!
Canoeing, kayaking and canal boating are core to our work and we strive to tackle disadvantage, challenge exclusion and support the more vulnerable members of our community through all that we do. With a focus on local children and special needs/disability groups, our free and subsidised projects enhance health and wellbeing, nurture life and social skills and bring people together - regardless of their ability or personal circumstances. Our community centre also provides affordable spaces for people to run their own events, projects or activities.
We offer:
- Kayaking, canoeing and bell-boating sessions (community groups, schools and private hire)
