Dozens of boats will moor up across the National Waterways Museum’s seven-acre site for this year's Easter Boat Gathering. Visitors can stroll along the waterside, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a rare chance to get up close to beautiful historic vessels, lovingly restored by dedicated owners.

Music is an integral part of canal heritage and plays a major part at the gathering and, as well as the boats and the music, the Easter Boat Gathering will be packed with workshops, tours and museum activities.
