Description:
Birmingham Canal Navigations Society in partnership with the Canal & River Trust, are holding a canal event on Saturday 16th May at the current terminus of the Bradley Canal by the Trust’s lock gate workshops. This event will be attended by boats but more importantly both charities wish to encourage local people to visit the canal, enjoy the natural environment of this green corridor and see the work of the skilled Canal & River Trust craftsmen as they construct lock gates. The event will have stall holders, a real ale bar, boat trips and an chance to look at the restoration opportunity for the remainder of the Bradley Canal to reinstate the link down to the Walsall Canal.
BCNS has for many years organised an annual boat rally which seeks to bring the spotlight onto some of the lesser known parts of the canal network. In 2019 it held a very successful two day event at Brownhills attracting over 50 boats, many local trade stalls and hundreds of local people who were encouraged to come to visit and re-connect with their canal. Research shows that being next to water makes you happier and healthier and we want local people to come and discover their local canal and spend time by water.
