Canalside Stories encompasses a mini-series of workshops, walks and boat trips that will allow people to creatively explore and experience the value and role of green and blue spaces in looking after and improving mental health.

Our canal boat cruises are on our wide-beam barge, the Lochrin Belle, and will last approximately 1 hour. This canal boat cruise will allow you to explore the theme whilst moving on the water through the canal environment.

Participants are welcome to contribute with ideas or simply listen and observe the creative process come to life.We can accommodate those with reduced mobility with our platform lift, but it is not suitable for all wheelchairs – please contact us in the first instance.
