It may be a bit blustery outside but on board the L. S. Lowry and Emmeline Pankhurst there’s February cheer a-plenty – stunning waterside views and expert historic commentary. We sail, well, glide through the water – the Bridgewater Canal, Ship Canal, River Irwell and Ship Canal – on Sat 25 Feb, leaving from the canal arm by the Castlefield Hotel on Liverpool Road at 11.30am.  Please book through www.quaytickets.com.
