Edinburgh Canal Raft Race and Big Boat Trips – 23 August

This year, the Raft Race is back with a twist! Itโ€™s now a standalone event on Sat 23rd August, featuring barge trips and even more watery fun.

๐Ÿ’™ย Spectators are very much welcomed on the towpath between the Leamington Liftbridge and the Lochrin Basin. Timings to be announced nearer the time, but activities will run approximately 12-5pmย ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽถ The racing will happen with a background of DJ sounds, and from 3-5pm, we will be entertained with songs and banter from the fantastic Andy Chung ๐ŸŽถ

๐ŸŒฟ Our Fountainbridge Canalside Greenspace Group will be offering some free activities on Fountainbridge Green โ€“ just next to where the barge trips depart ๐ŸŒฟ

๐Ÿ• If you are feeling peckish, there are a number of local cafes serving food and drinks, and we are excited to have Outta Space Pizza at Fountainbridge Green too ๐Ÿ•

๐Ÿ’ฆ 45 minute cruises on wide-beam barges are also available throughout the afternoon. Pre-book below to avoid disappointment! ๐Ÿ’ฆ
