One of Britain's best loved canal festivals: around 30,000 visitors and 400 narrowboats on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Middlewich, Cheshire. The planned June 2026 edition was called off and the organisers have not confirmed replacement dates, with the festival's own channels quiet since. Check their Facebook page for updates before making plans.
Middlewich Folk And Boat Festival returns in 2026, running 11-13 Sept at Middlewich, North West. Glamping is available on site if you would rather not pitch your own tent.
Folk fans will feel right at home.
