THE SWAN AT STREATLEY REVEALS SUMMER OFFERINGS Coppa Club celebrates the start of the summer at their popular Streatley-on-Thames Clubhouse, The Swan at Streatley. Designed for locals and visitors to make the most of sun-drenched days and longer evenings, The Swan at Streatley is unveiling its new programme to make the summer memorable with a packed schedule through to September. The new summer pop-up, an al fresco lobster bar, will serve freshly prepared grilled lobster with a glass of sparkling Nyetimber or frozen margarita. Back by popular demand is The Swan’s fleet of electric motor boats that glide silently along one of the most picturesque stretches of the river. In true Coppa style, guests can enhance their stay with a signature picnic hamper filled with quintessentially British classics from the latest Café ‘Grab & Go’ menu. Evening events and workshops include regular live lounges and outdoor cinema screenings. As ever, The Swan’s renowned wellness and fitness activities will be available, including wild swimming with Swims & Things, stand-up paddle boarding with SUP Life, and yoga with Grace & Gravity. Special summer staycation offers will appeal to couples, friends, families and four-legged visitors too.
