Bush Experiences UK is an outdoor activity provider based in Thetford, England, offering a range of river and woodland experiences on the River Thet. The business runs guided paddle sessions that allow participants to canoe or stand-up paddleboard under the direction of an experienced instructor, and it also provides self-guided equipment hire for paddle boards and canoes. Sessions and hires take place on the River Thet and showcase views of Thetford town and local wildlife.
In addition to water-based activities, Bush Experiences UK provides team-sport and target-sport options including zorb football, axe throwing, and tag archery. Several team-sport experiences run as public sessions, enabling family groups and individuals to join hosted matches and meet other participants. The business also offers combined rotation sessions that mix archery tag and axe throwing for groups and public attendance.
A creative option listed as a Jetty Use Donation allows participants to bring their own materials for crafting on-site and use the jetty space for self-directed projects. Guided paddle sessions use games to improve paddling technique, and target sport sessions pair coaching elements with competitive games. Public sessions and equipment hire give flexible options for families, individuals and booked groups, with clear listings for each activity. Bush Experiences UK is featured on The Adventure Collective, where its local Thetford experiences are promoted to outdoor enthusiasts and families looking for river-based and woodland adventure activities.
