Boat Gathering Attracts Record Numbers

Museum) is gearing up for a busy Easter with a record 47 boats

brings together a wide variety of canal craft representative of
those which have sailed along Britain’s inland waterways both
past and present.

taking place. Final bookings too are still being taken from last
minute boaters who wish to join in the fun.
Traditional craft demonstrations, folk music, family
entertainment, children’s make’n’take workshops, not forgetting
the fun for all Easter Egg Hunt, will all be taking place
throughout the weekend during museum opening hours each day 10am
to 5pm. Normal museum entrance applies. Check website for new
season prices offering even more value than ever before. A
family of five (2 adults/3 children) can visit for under £20. |
