It is with great pleasure that LNBP Community Boating are able to announce that we have once again been appointed as the Official Charity Partner of the Crick Boat Show.


Now established as one of the ‘must visit’ events over the Whitsun bank holiday weekend, The Crick Boat Show is Britain’s biggest inland waterways festival and takes place annually over the late May Spring Bank Holiday weekend at Crick Marina in Northamptonshire,  this year from Saturday 26th to Monday 28th May 2018.
 

Once again, as part of our ongoing commitment to the event we will be operating the trip boats up the Leicester Arm of the Grand Union Canal throughout the duration of the weekend for Show visitors to experience a short taste of life on the water.
 
Trip boats run every 10 minutes from 10.10am each day of the show and each trip lasts 30 minutes. All trips are free but we do encourage small donations to help us continue our work.
 
Our trips are always a popular attraction, therefore due to popular demand for 2018 we will now be running an additional boat – to now make four – across all three days of the Show.
 
 

 
As always, we advise that you book your free trip at the Trip Boats Marquee at Stand Q50 by the Quayside soon after you arrive at the Show, where you can also find out more information about us, what we do and can offer to community groups and organisations, schools and colleges.
 
As in previous years we will also again have Guinevere – one of our [two] community boats – in attendance at the Show. There will again be opportunity for showgoers to come below deck at the quayside and see inside, and find out more about us with our team on hand to answer any questions and take booking enquiries.
 



 
The Crick Boat Show is a fabulous day out with so much to see and do, plus a great variety of entertainment on offer throughout the weekend. This includes full weekend of music entertainment with a wide selection of music performed live in the Wheatsheaf Marquee from noon ’til night and this year.
 
This year, the UK’s top ABBA tribute band, ABBA Revival, will take to the stage on Sunday evening for what promises to be a hugely popular set.
