As part of our Heritage Project activities, Fountainbridge Canalside Community Trust and Citadel Arts Group invite you to join us on board the Lochrin Belle canal boat to enjoy a boat ride and to Share Stories of the Union Canal.
Visit your own memories and recollections, begin to write new stories
Wed 23 October 10.30-12pm or 1-2.30pm
Join us for a short trip on the Lochrin Belle barge to Harrison Park, when we will celebrate the heritage and history of the canal as it relates to our own lives.
Led by Vincent Maguire, writer with Citadel Arts Group, we will be encouraged to begin to shape stories inspired by our appreciation of the relationship of the canal to the local community.
Tea and coffee will be served. Paper and pens can be provided. No previous experience is required.
Please BOOK A FREE PLACE HERE.
This event is made possible with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.

This event is an hour cruise on the Lochrin Belle canal boat. The boat will leave promptly from Edinburgh Quay and return to the same location. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start time. The boat will not wait for you if you are late.
There is a toilet on board.
We can cater for people reduced mobility – please see our website for details https://www.re-union.org.uk/home/faq/ contact us in advance to make sure we are prepared.
If there are bad weather conditions (e.g. gusts of over 40mph) or other safety concerns the event will run as a static event on the boat (not a cruise).
