On Saturday, September 10 the volunteers will be helping families to learn more about what makes the canal such a special and unique place.

The Trust will be opening the doors of their Heritage Centre, offering two different trails with the activities running from 10am to 3pm.

Celia Javan, Community Volunteer Lead, said: “We’re particularly keen to help families discover more about the canal and the different ways they can enjoy it, and learn about the history of the canal and why it’s such a special place. We hope taking part in the Heritage Open Days will encourage families to visit and explore.

“With our 200th birthday celebrations having taken place throughout 2022 there’s a lot of history to take in.”
