We are pleased to welcome this year's historic boat gathering at Audlem organised by the Historic Narrow Boat Club between Thursday 24 July and Sunday 27 July.

The event will take place between Lock 12 and Lock 15 on the Shropshire Union Canal. 

For this event to be a success the moorings at the described locations will be restricted for the historic boats between Wednesday 23 July and Monday 28 July.

Moorings will be reserved for those boats taking part in the event at the following locations:

  • Between Lock 12 and Lock 13 (towpath and offside)

  • Between Lock 13 and Lock 14 (towpath side)

  • Between Lock 14 and Lock 15 (towpath side)

  The mooring restriction will be in force for all boats except for those attending the event.  

Mooring outside of this area is unaffected. 

Whilst the navigation and towpath will remain open, please consider this when cruising through, as it may be busier than usual.

This is an event for boats belonging to HNBC members only to book your space please contact: [email protected]
