Join Unlock Runcorn for a day of boats, heritage, music, cask ale and fun along the Bridgewater Canal at Top Locks Runcorn (opposite Wat Phra Singh Temple).
This will be more than a celebration, it is a milestone for our town and you are ALL invited!
The event programme is structured around three themes:
Past - Celebrating 250 years of Bridgewater Canal history at Top Locks, one of Runcorn’s most significant historic gateways, and the journey of Unlock Runcorn with 6 boats moored up!
Present - The launch of Fraeda, our new wide beam boat, with The Mayor cutting the ribbon at 1pm and unveiling our new cruise timetables. Also updates on the Unlock Runcorn project and giving thanks to those who made it happen!
Future - Showcasing new local talents, cultural partnerships, creative collaborations and local businesses, showcasing the next phase of Runcorn’s transformation!
This event is a visible marker of progress, demonstrating how culture, creativity and community pride are central to long-term regeneration and free to attend!
