Our aim is to offer disadvantaged community groups an experience of a canal trip on a traditional narrowboat. We run and maintain 'Tarporley' - a historic Northwich narrowboat, converted to carry 12 passengers. We mainly do day or evening trips but also longer ones as passengers & crew can sleep aboard. Volunteers help run the boat, crewing, supporting passengers, working locks, mooring, steering and maintaining the boat. Even if you have never been boating before, we will train you. All we ask is for you to commit for a reasonable period of time so it becomes worth our while training you.
