A paddleboarding business in Norwich is hoping to get some relationships off to a steady start with its new dating events.

Norwich Paddleboard Hire will host Tinder Tuesdays throughout August in a bid to bring people together.

People are invited to come along to the business' base at Gibraltar Gardens to embark on an evening of paddleboarding, socialising and soaking up the city's scenic views.

Rebecca Brown, a manager at the site in Gibraltar Gardens, said the team thought up the concept collectively.

"It was such a random idea," she said. "A lot of our staff work here in the summer but do a lot of travelling throughout the year.

"We've noticed that in other countries they have a lot more outdoorsy events for singles - here in Norwich pretty much have to go to a bar to meet people.

"We thought it would be great to get a group together to meet people or make friends while enjoying a summer evening on the water."

There will be two sessions each Tuesday with over 35s being invited at 6pm and people aged 21 to 35 coming at 7pm. 

The sessions will cost £14.99 for an hour and a half and the equipment will be provided.

People are welcome to bring snacks or drinks if they wish.

A full safety briefing and tutorial will be given before anyone takes to the water.
