Froghall Waterway Community Day
A Waterway Community Day will be take place on Sunday 28th August between 10am - 4pm, at the junction of the Caldon and Uttoxeter Canals Canal in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Everybody is invited to come down to the canal for a walk, a fun afternoon out and to show how we use and value the canal in our community.
Local residents and all users of the canal - walkers, anglers, cyclists, canoeists, rowers, runners, environmentalists, along with local businesses who benefit from visitors - are invited to enjoy a walk along the Caldon Canal, take a boat trip through the tunnel on NB Beatrice* , discover more about the project to restore the Uttoxeter Canal and go WOW – Wild Over Waterways – with FREE children’s activities!
Members of the Inland Waterways Association Stoke on Trent branch, the Caldon & Uttoxeter Canals Trust, Stoke-on-Trent Boat Club and the Beatrice Charity - the trip boat for children with a need to get afloat - will stage displays about waterway-related activities in the Staffordshire Moorlands, nearby Stoke-on-Trent and throughout the waterway network that the Caldon and Uttoxeter Canals connect into.
See historic narrow boats in the restored Uttoxeter Basin, traditional canal art and fascinating displays about the waterways through the Churnet Valley
Come along and tell us how you value the canals through the Churnet Valley and at the heart of your community!
