Further information is now available to the timings of the Water Bots Event on the New Mainline, Wednesday 22 October:
The water space will be used, so a navigation restriction will be in place. There will be four performances lasting around 20 minutes each at the area behind the ICC. This should give a short window in between if there is an immediate need to facilitate passage for a boat. The overall restriction is only for 90 mins, so we appreciate if boaters could plan accordingly.
