We work to promote the Kennet and Avon Canal to the benefit of all its users
Is there a special occasion coming up like a Birthday or a Reunion? How about floating along our green and leafy waterways on board Matilda Too enjoying a delicious afternoon tea with friends and family?
Our normal charter trip runs from the town out to Fobney Lock and back but can also include the historic sites in the town seen on our shorter trips. Typically the trip time is 120 minutes with prices from £120 for a group of up to 6 and £12 per head for further passengers up to our limit of 12. We can tailor the trip to your requirements.

Afternoon tea cruise
We can advise on catering or entertainment to add to your trip. A popular option is to book afternoon tea. This is provided by Debbie Johnson, our preferred catering supplier. The tea includes a choice of sandwiches, scones and cakes. All served on vintage china.
