In addition to old favourites the festival always has something new. The statue and surrounding waterborne decorations are the result of a project between Monster Creations who operate from a lockside workshop, and local holiday play scemes run by the local Council. On the towpath there will be some 60 stalls selling everything from canalware and crafts, books, to refreshments, bees and wild birds. These give many local and national charities the chance to raise funds. For children there will be a variety of entertainment such as Punch and Judy, face painting, story telling.
Admission is free.
This year there will be music fro Tragic Roundabout and Pearly Jazzers, and Toast of the Town, a story teller, Hawks and bee-keeping displays, and more attractions to be announced. There will be a wide variety of stalls.
