Aimed at children aged 4 to 8 years and scheduled for the school summer holidays, Storyboats are a gentle way to pass an hour. Siblings welcome but all passengers must purchase a ticket and booking is essential.
We travel down the Gade to where it meets the Grand Union Canal in our Bryan Donkin boat, reading stories along the way. We try to pause near wildlife and carry waterfowl food on board, so if we see and water birds we can feed them. Regulars are the swans, ducks, moorhens and kingfishers.
Storyboats are extremely popular and sell out fast. Tickets go on sale just prior to each school holiday.
