Black Country Boating Festival

The much-loved Black Country Boating Festival is back for its 23rd year, and is taking place at the picturesque Bumble Hole nature reserve.

Organised and run entirely by volunteers, this festival is a popular fixture on the boating calendar and regularly attracts over 12,000 visitors eager to peruse the 200 or more boat, trade and charity stalls.

There promises to be something for every member of the family, such as boaters’ competitions, a funfair to keep the kids entertained, a real ale bar, and regular boat trips down the Dudley No 2 Canal.

Be sure to top the night off with a visit to the main marquee for some evening entertainment and a delicious bbq.

The festival runs from 10am – 5pm and admission is free. For more information call 0844 800 5076 or email info@bcbf.com.
