Take a break from Christmas shopping with a relaxing enthralling sail along 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, though we can’t ensure Wizzard will board at the lock and serenade everyone with “I wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday”.

Please book with Quaytickets.
