The charity making life better by water

Third Party Events Guidance, Rate Card & FAQs

Our Third Party Events Guidance is essential for organisers, providing step-by-step instructions to ensure safe, compliant, and successful events on our waterways.

The guidance covers all aspects of planning, from securing permissions to managing health and safety, making it a must-read for anyone organising an event.

Our event rate card offers a comprehensive overview of fees determined by event type, location, and size, along with any costs for additional support services. Events can add extra pressure to the canal network, so it’s vital that they contribute to preserving the nation’s canal heritage, ensuring future generations can continue to enjoy these historic waterways.

The FAQs provide further clarity on the rate card, detailing how charges apply to different types of organisations, including commercial, charitable, and not-for-profit entities. By following the guidance and understanding the rate card, organisers can ensure their events are both enjoyable and sustainable while supporting the Canal & River Trust's mission to protect the waterways.
