This summer, set sail with VICTA Sport for our latest 18+ sport social event.

When you get to Cobnor Activities Centre, you’ll be welcomed by the VICTA Sport team and kitted out in everything you need to get onto the water. We’ll set out onto Chichester Harbour in keelboats, with everyone being shown the ropes and getting the chance to take control on our journey over to East Head.

Once we get there, we’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the summer sunshine, play a few games and then head back for approx. 3pm.

The nearest train station is Nutbourne and is a short taxi journey to the activity centre. If you let us know if you’d like to be added to a WhatsApp group for this activity, you can then coordinate your journey with others beforehand and share a taxi over.

The 18+ VICTA Sport social events will be a great opportunity to meet and connect with other like-minded individuals through sport and physical activity. And, if you enjoy yourself at this one, VICTA Sport can get you involved in other sailing opportunities. So as well as some new friends, you might just find yourself a new sport at the same time!
