7 JUNE: A day out aboard “Savile”, with the Calder Navigation Society.

The Society owns a trip boat called “Savile”, which is used to promote the Calder and Hebble Navigation, our local waterway.

She is a 32 foot long craft echoing the style of her predecessor “Doreen”, an historic wooden Windermere launch.

“Savile” was custom built in 1995 by Tayberg Steel Boats at Brighouse. The boat operates short trips at local events, to give members of the public a taste of their local canal scene.

Cost

  • There is no fixed charge for the trip, but a voluntary donation will be requested.

How to book

  • Bookings will be taken on the towpath behind Sainsbury’s from 9.30am on the day of the event.
  • It is not possible to book in advance or online.
