Festival Schedule Overview
This outline gives you a clear picture of how the Anglesey Women’s Sea Kayaking Festival flows across the weekend. We balance time on the water with workshops, community activities, yoga, meals, and evening sessions so you can learn, relax, and connect at a pace that feels good.
Each day is designed to offer something for everyone — from confidence-building coaching to more adventurous journeys, plus opportunities to explore new skills, try SKUK boats and Celtic paddles, and enjoy the social side of the festival.
About Changes to the Schedule
Because we paddle in dynamic coastal environments, some details of the schedule may change based on weather, tides, sea conditions, and group needs. Our coaching team monitors the forecast closely and selects the most suitable venues each day.
Any adjustments are made to ensure:
Safety, enjoyment and appropriate challenge for each group.
We’ll keep everyone informed during daily briefings, and you’ll always know where you’re going and what to expect.
