This is the 10th of our hugely popular working narrowboats rally - the UK's largest!
Well over 80 historic boats gather and take part in parades with commentary - stirring stuff!
Guest of Honour at Saturday morning's opening ceremony is the actress GAYLE HUNNICUT whose association with us goes back to the 1970 thriller 'Running Scared' in which she starred and was mainly filmed in Braunston. She will be at the helm of 'Nutfield' towing 'Raymond', both famous Braunston Blue Line boats.
There is a real ale beer tent, exhibitors, traders & waterways artists, an open air Songs of Praise church service on Sunday, live music from bands & groups, Morris dancing, fast food, boat horse demonstrations, a theatrical presentation
- in fact FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY -
