Smooth away the Christmas shopping stress with a relaxing and enthralling sail along the local waterways: the Manchester Ship Canal, Bridgewater Canal and River Irwell from Castlefield to Salford Quays and back.

New Manchester Walks on water during this 3-hour canal trip with our engrossing historic commentary about the days of docks and dockers, ships and sailing vessels, and the Manchester port.

And because it’s Christmas there’ll be mulled wine and mince pies.

Please book with Quaytickets.
