The Home of Watersports in Sussex
Water sports are fun! Whether you're young, old, beginner or experienced, you'll be welcome. Over the past 26 years, we have introduced thousands to the thrill and challenge of sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Our experienced staff are patient and enthusiastic. The centre uses up-to-date and well maintained equipment. The Reservoir provides a large expanse of fresh water, offering an ideal teaching environment, in an area of outstanding natural beauty and Chichester Harbour provides an ideal progression with 11 square miles of water,17 miles of well marked and lit channels and easy access to the Solent.
We are a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and British Canoe Union (BCU) approved centre. Ardingly Activity Centre is registered by the Adventurous Activities Authority (AALA). This means that we are regularly inspected for standards of instruction, facilities, equipment and staff ratios.
