For those who are new to paddling, we will be offering Discover award courses over the summer period which give you the skills needed to join in at our club sessions. 



Safeguarding and welfare

We are fully committed to safeguarding the welfare of our members, particularly children and adults at risk. We believe everyone has a responsibility to report any concerns about potential harm or abuse. If you have any safeguarding or welfare concerns that you would like to discuss, we have dedicated club welfare officers who can help and advise you. In the first instance, please email us at welfare.fcc@gmail.com or speak to Steve Scammell or Lou Singer in person at the club.



Frome canoe club is a Paddle UK affiliated club. We welcome people from age 8 upwards and cater for all abilities. Having fun and providing a supportive environment are all part of our club ethos. We welcome and support complete beginners through to experienced paddlers, helping everyone to participate and improve skills in whichever discipline they choose. 


Here you will find the details of the coaches, instructors, leaders and people with club roles who will be volunteering their time to help you on your paddling journey over the 2025 season. 

Our modern clubhouse has all the facilities you need, including male and female changing rooms, an accessible shower room/toilet, hot showers and a kitchen area. 
The changing rooms have lockers which are suitable for your personal belongings, and can be operated with a £1 coin.

We have direct river access from our jetty onto the river Frome, and this can be accessed either via steps or the seal launch.

Function rooms available to hire

Did you know that you can hire out our function rooms for your events? Our rooms and facilities are a fantastic space and are regularly hired out for birthday parties, local groups, corporate events and everything in between. 

We welcome you to attend a taster session before committing to join the club, or before completing a Discover course. If you are new to paddling, we can support and guide with everything you need to get on the water. 

Taster sessions cost £5 per person, per session and must be booked in advance.
