Stoppages won’t sink the fun at Huddlesford

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to this year’s Huddlesford Heritage Gathering – a weekend packed with entertainment, history and fun for all ages.

Due to low water levels and emergency stoppages at Fradley and Glascote, we’re expecting significantly fewer boats than usual. But don’t worry – there’s still plenty to see and enjoy on land at our beautiful canalside location!

✨ What’s On:

  • Craft and trade stalls – from handmade gifts to canal-themed treasures
  • Classic vehicles – vintage cars and more on display
  • Live music – great local performers throughout the weekend
  • Delicious food and drink – plenty of choice to keep you fuelled
  • Family-friendly atmosphere – a celebration of canal and community heritage

And here’s some good news: admission will now be free this year, in light of the reduced number of boats.

However, this is one of our biggest fundraising events for the Lichfield and Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust, so please consider making a donation – every penny helps us restore more of the Lichfield Canal for future generations. 💙

Come along, bring your friends and family, and join us for a brilliant weekend at Huddlesford Junction. Even with fewer boats, the Gathering will be full of life, colour and community spirit – and who knows, if we get plenty of rain, there may be a few more boats after all!
