Happy New Year 2026 from Oakham and Rutland News! Swimming New Years Day Rutland Water, Free Hot Chocolate.
As the clock strikes midnight and we welcome 2026, we want to wish our incredible community across Oakham, Uppingham, and all our beautiful Rutland villages a very Happy New Year!
2025 was quite a year for our county being named one of the best places to live by the Sunday Times.
We’ve faced challenges together, celebrated local heroes in the New Year's Honours, and continued to prove why Rutland is the heart of the country.
Starting 2026 with a Splash?
If you're looking to shake off the celebrations, don't forget the annual New Year's Day Dip at Rutland Water!
Where: Meeting at Rutland Harbour Café.
When: 11:00 AM today (January 1st).
Reward: Hot chocolate and soup await those brave enough to face the water!
