Looking for something a bit different? Enjoy your own private concert on a chauffeured punt or join a flotilla organised by the Cherwell Boathouse in Oxford. Our singers will serenade you with opera and song, while you enjoy a jaunt along the River Cherwell and Oxford’s stunning views.
Why not bring your own picnic or stop for a drink at the Victoria Arms (made famous by Morse) or book a meal at the Cherwell Boathouse Restaurant on your return?
We’re happy to announce that we are developing partnerships with punt operators so will hopefully soon be able to provide our unique opera – punt experience in Cambridge.

What our audiences say
'Just wanted to say what a fabulous time we had with you on the Cherwell yesterday. Mary, the birthday girl was bowled over, as were the rest of us! The phrase ‘like a dream’ was mentioned by several. Keep doing what you are doing…. It’s fab!'
Elizabeth MacGregor, Opera on Punts, River Cherwell, July 2019
