Narrow Boat River and Canal Trips

Private Functions

If you have something special to celebrate or are a group of friends or work colleagues who want to spend some time together, "Wind in the Willows" provides a unique venue for parties, small business workshops and social gatherings.

Whilst the size and layout of the boat cannot accommodate a dance floor or disco, you can customise your trip by deciding on the direction taken, duration, music played and food package required.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret that we are unable to take bookings for functions after 26th June
