Open Events
Come and join in - we'd love to see you at our FREE events
View Hathor
Have you been onboard Hathor, our stunning Egyptian-themed wherry, built for the Colman family of Norwich? Based on the riverfront below the beautiful How Hill House, we are open for viewing 10am-5pm most days from 2nd May to 29th September each year. Our Ambassadors will be there to welcome you, give you a guided tour, and tell you the history of both Hathor and our other wherries.
Please note: Hathor is out sailing a couple of days a month and our viewing days are also subject to volunteer availability. If you are making a special trip, please contact us to ensure there will be someone to greet you - jk@wherryyachtcharter.org
Other Events during 2026
All at How Hill river front where Hathor will be moored, unless stated otherwise, and free to attend unless otherwise stated.
