IT’S all aboard at Saltisford Canal in Warwick for a day of fun and exploration.
Home to permanent residents and travelling boats all year round, there is an opportunity to find out more about life on Saltisford Canal Arm on Saturday September 8.
Visitors can meet a traditional fender maker and see his working home, watch a traditional canal artist at work and have a go at rag rug making. Traditional working boat ‘Raymond’ will be open for visits and tours from its knowledgeable volunteers.
And Heritage and Culture Warwickshire (HCW) are supporting the event with activities for everyone to enjoy including Canalside Yoga and a canal walk with artist Madeline Snowdon.
HCW spokesperson Rebecca Coles said: “it has been great to collaborate with the Saltisford Trust team and the day will be a wonderful experience for visitors. Other organisations are also involved including the RNLI and the local Bat and Hedgehog rescue. There is also children’s craft, a self-led I Spy hunt and Warwickshire Libraries are also doing storytelling sessions.”
The event runs from 12pm until 4pm. For more information visit www.warwickshire.gov.uk/heritageboxoffice
