Spring bank holiday weekend is well known in boating circles as the date for Crick Boat Show, Britain's biggest inland waterways festival. But in addition to Crick, our canals are hosting exciting events up and down the country. Whether you fancy joining a guided walk, taking part in a crafts session or browsing a colourful floating market, we have something to keep all the family entertained... including a boat-load of pirates!
