Campbell Wharf Floating Market - Roving Canal Traders Association

Canal Boats Bring Colour to Milton Keynes This August Bank Holiday

Get ready for a unique shopping experience this August Bank Holiday! The Roving Canal Traders Association's Floating Market is coming to Milton Keynes on 23rd, 24th and 25th August 2025, bringing a splash of colour and a treasure trove of goodies to the Grand Union Canal.

From 10am to 5pm each day, the canal between Blue Bridge and Childs Way Bridge, near Campbell Wharf, will be abuzz with narrowboats selling a delightful array of wares.

Milton Keynes, a new town built in the 1960s, is intertwined with the Grand Union Canal, a vital transport link during the industrial revolution. Today, the canal offers a scenic backdrop for leisure and recreation.

Why not make a day of it? Explore other Milton Keynes attractions like Bletchley Park, the Milton Keynes Museum or the Xscape centre with its indoor ski slope and cinema.

Why not pop along and see what’s going on.😉
