All weather cruising.....

Summer has come...........has it gone yet? Feels like it this could be the case with the gloomy skies the past 3 weeks but maybe we have a late bloom of sunshine coming in September? This does not mean that canal cruising should be dismissed as an activity on your chill out itinerary!

In fact winter cruising can be just as delightful in its own special way. The shortening days and lowering temperatures bring a different perspective to the canal and it can be just as enjoyable. Our Luxury wide beam boat, Kingfisher is centrally heated and fully covered with cosy indoor seating so its an all weather winner. This year we have lots planned for the Autumn / Winter schedule for every one to enjoy.

Staying in August take advantage of our Family cruises over the Barton Grange Food Weekend (21st & 22nd) where you can take a mini cruise for a few coins and also sample some of the great bites available from the Garden Centre Restaurant with a cup of tea thrown in - all included in the ticket price £2 - check out http://www.budgietransport.co.uk/page/478/Not-Given.htm

Next exciting news we have decided to participate in the Lancaster Music Festival during the weekend of 8-10 October. Kingfisher will be a unique venue for the festival making it the only floating stage for the participating musicians. We have Folk on a Boat cruise, Handels Water Music Cheese and Wine cruise planned to name a few. Visit our webpage to view more details and book your seat.

October, November and December will see a variety of Fun Cruises sailing from Barton Grange Garden Centre including Fish & Chips, Race Nights, Cream Teas and a host of Christmas orientated themes closer to Christmas for the whole family. Just check our website to get the full picture of whats available.

Of course dont forget that we can tailor cruises to meet your requirements and the boat is a perfect and unique location to hold your staff / office Christmas Party with our fully licensed bar, dance floor, superb catering and friendly crew..............and of course what happens on the boat stays on the boat!!

On that note I will end this blog. See you soon.

Best wishes
