Rickmansworth Canal and Environment Festival
|
|
| The largest annual
event held at the Lock is the Rickmansworth Canal
Festival, which can attract up to 15,000 visitors.
The festival is held over a weekend in May and serves
two functions, firstly as a fundraiser for the Trust
and secondly as a celebration of the Rickmansworth
and Batchworth communities. |
|
| During the festival
many of the old traditional narrowboats moor up
bringing with them music, exhibitions and entertainment.
There are many stalls around the site and a fair.
This year the historic narrowboat, "Roger" was launched.
"Roger" will play a major part in the educational
programme as well as being an exhibition centre
and a training ship for youth crews delivering commercial
cargoes. |
