Stroll through a landscape of Victorian buildings, locks, stables and cottages & chat with costumed volunteers.
Step back in time and experience what it was like to live and work in the docks when Ellesmere Port was a canal town. Stroll through a landscape of Victorian buildings, locks, stables and cottages … and meet some interesting characters on the way!
Boats are the theme for this Canal Town event
- watch our team of volunteers demonstrate how to bow haul a boat through the lock.
- see the boats we have on display and notice their shapes, their different purposes and find out what they might be carrying.
- imagine life if you had lived on a boat like one of those in our Collection.
Join us for a LEGO workshop at £10 per child. This week we will be building Well-B - build your model and take it home with you. Children must be accompanied by an adult. A valid Museum admission ticket is required for this event. Please book your ticket(s) here: Canal & River Trust Tickets, Products, Membership Plans, Gift Vouchers - Buy Online
There will be lock demonstrations, boat trips, costumed guided tours and children’s activities including story-telling during the day.
