Each school holiday we run Storyboats for younger children. This is a gentle 40 minute cruise down the River Gade to where it meets the Grand Union Canal, with wildlife spotting while listening to stories. The books we read a picture books, so the audience can spot the hidden elements and learn
about new creatures. Suitable for ages 4 to 8 years, it is the ideal way to fill time between the more costly, holiday outings. We feed the waterfowl we encounter and if we are very lucky we see the kingfisher.
We run special themed boats at Halloween and Christmas, with goody bags and an extra special passenger in a red suit at Christmas.
All children must be accompanied by an adult, all passengers must have a ticket. Tickets can be purchased from our website.
