Restoring 70 miles of canal and towpath for the benefit of local communities, wildlife and leisure
Come and join us.

unnamed 33Don't miss out, santa's about!
 
It's the time of the year, where Santa joins us on the canal. Trips must be pre-booked and spaces are limited, so don't risk being turned away like these fellows who thought they could just swan in.

Bookings for Santa 2021 are open but filling up fast! We're running them as per our current shorter trips but otherwise the format is the same - Santa gets on board Dragonfly and gives each child their own personalised present. He even knows if the child has been on a previous trip! For all you need to know, visit the take a boat trip page on our website - or just email 2santa@wbct.org.uk.
 
Because we have to order & wrap each child's individual present in advance, ALL Santa trips must be pre-booked.
 
The trips will commence on Saturday Nov 27th & run every weekend through December, and, depending on demand, some of the weekdays in the week before Christmas. Covid may change all this, of course; we hope it won't, but we have contingency plans in place for that eventuality.
 
Book now to avoid disappointment!
 
Many thanks to Paul for his excellent swan photography.
