The family friendly waterside café will be open all day and the canal’s popular boat trips will be running through half term too — booking in advance is recommended.
Celia Javan, community team lead volunteer, said; “We’re keen to find different ways to introduce more families to discover the canal.
“In February half term, over 150 people took part in our family fun day, and we look forward to welcoming new families this month.”

The celebratory day culminated in a floating procession – a flotilla, comprising all the trip boats, tugs, paddleboarders, kayakers, rowing boats and an inflatable flamingo.
