Caen Hill Locks Open Day

Starts: 8 February 2025

Ends: 8 February 2025

10:30 am - 04:00 pm

The Locks, Rowde, Devizes, SN10 1RF

Come join us on Saturday 8 February at Caen Hill Locks for a fun-filled day exploring the historic locks.

Starting at 10:30 AM, you'll have the chance to step behind the scenes and learn about the fascinating history of the locks and what it takes to keep them working in 2025. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to experience one of Wiltshire's most iconic landmarks up close!

Set foot where visitors aren't usually allowed by exploring the inside of a lock, or take a guided tour to learn about the amazing heritage and ecology of this scheduled ancient monument.

You'll also meet our skilled teams and volunteers who protect the canals all year round, and find out more about the important work we do locally to #KeepCanalsAlive. In the winter, some incredible feats of engineering take place on the canal - now's your chance to see the Kennet & Avon Canal as you never have before.

As well as guided walking tours, there will also be lots of other activities for all ages to get involved in, including trails and orienteering around Jubilee Woodland, educational activities and games for children, and you'll even be able to step aboard the 'Admiral' our narrowboat and welcome station. You can also find out more about volunteering to support your local canal.
