Britain's What's On Event Guide
Fund Britain's Waterways campaign cruise to Westminster
See and hear a flotilla of over 30 narrowboats and other craft gathering outside Parliament to campaign for more funding for canals and rivers.
Boats have travelled hundreds of miles across the country to gather outside the Palace of Westminster to bring the message that Britain's unique canals and rivers are deteriorating and need more investment. These inland waterways are a hugely valuable asset in so many ways - walking, cycling, jogging, commuting, fishing, enjoying nature and wildlife as well as boating. They have already been saved from dereliction after commercial carrying stopped, through the efforts of volunteers, and we cannot afford to lose them again.
If you can come to Westminster Bridge, please send a WhatsApp message to 07734 038297 to join the supporters’ WhatsApp group so that you will be updated on the progress of the boats and their expected time of arrival at Westminster.
