We are pleased to welcome a four day family festival for all the family to enjoy with live entertainment at this years 50th anniversary event, with so much to see and do all weekend from boat trips, horse boating, harnessing and lock demonstrations, to live music, workshops, traditional crafts, stalls and activities.
Please consider when cruising through the suspension as it may be busier than usual once the boats are in position.
