Description

We are pleased to welcome this year's Easter Historic Boat Gathering at National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port between Friday 18 April to Monday 21 April.

For this event to be a success the moorings at Chester Basin will be restricted for the historic boats between Tuesday 15 April and Friday 18 April.

The following restrictions will be in place to accommodate the event:

Moorings will be restricted at Chester Basin visitor moorings between these dates.

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.
