Exciting Easter events on a canal near you

Bank holiday fun is better by water and we have an ‘eggciting’ range of events for all the family to enjoy this Easter weekend.

People walk along the towpath passed canal boats selling wares and decorated with signs.

Floating market by canal

As the charity for canals, we know that spring is a wonderful time to step onto the towpath. With flowers blooming and colourful canal boats cruising the cut, there’s plenty to fascinate young and old. This bank holiday weekend, our varied calendar of events makes things extra special.
