SUMMARY:Pewsham Locks Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Popular open days on a restored stretch of canal between near Chippenham are due to return this weekend.\nHundreds of people attended last year’s events at Pewsham Locks\, a flight of locks which once lifted narrowboats on their journey north along the Wilts & Berks Canal. \nVisitors can enjoy a pop-up café\, boat trips\, and tours of the building projects and wildflower meadow.\nThe first event takes place on Saturday 10th May and will be repeated on the second Saturday of each month until October. The café and tours open from 10am\, with boat trips available from 12.30pm\, before the event closes at around 3pm. \nThe open days are organised by the Melksham\, Chippenham & Calne branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust. \nSpokesperson Bright Wright said: \nWe’re looking forward to welcoming lots of visitors and sharing the progress we’ve made in bringing this historic waterway back to life. People often enjoy walking or cycling along the towpath but this is a golden opportunity to learn so much more about the charity\, our local work and our plans for the future. \nWe’ll be offering guided tours of the dry dock and carpenter’s workshop\, which are due to be completed later this year\, as well as tours of the wildflower meadow and wildlife habitats. The boat rides are especially popular\, taking passengers to Double Bridge near Reybridge and back again. We also offer exclusive trips for community groups in the mornings. \nThese rides depend on the weather and the water levels though\, so we always advise people to check our social media for any late changes. Boats depart from the wharf at Pewsham Locks\, where the pop-up café offers plenty of tea\, coffee and cake\, and lots of seating beneath the trees – it’s a great location for a relaxing day out. \nThe site is just a short walk along a footpath from the edge of Pewsham. Directions are available at www.wbct.org.uk/mcc-events (please note there is no public parking at the locks). \nRefreshments and boat rides are available by cash donation or scanning a QR code. Last year’s events raised almost £2\,000. \nFor further information call 07510 326730 or email brian.wright@wbct.org.uk \nThe aim of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is to restore the waterway from the Kennet & Avon Canal near Melksham to the Thames & Severn Canal near Cricklade and the River Thames near Abingdon\, connecting Chippenham\, Calne\, Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon. \nNew members are always welcome.

The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is sharing the fascinating history of Pewsham Locks this Saturday 14th September. \nThe event includes a pop-up café and tours of the worksite and wildlife habitats\, together with boat rides along the stretch which has already been rebuilt. The charity hopes it will encourage people to learn more about the restoration campaign and how they can get involved. \n\nThe pop-up café at the wharf includes outside seating and will be serving teas\, coffees and cakes from 10am\, when volunteers will also start taking small groups around the site to explain their current work and future plans.\nTours of the wildflower meadow and habitat management project will take place at Double Bridge at 11am and 2.30pm\, while boat rides will depart from the locks approximately every 45 minutes from 12.30pm.\nRefreshments and boat rides are available by cash donation or by scanning a QR code.\nThe open day is due to finish at around 3pm.\n\nThe event is being organised by the Melksham\, Chippenham & Calne branch of the Trust.

Depending on the water levels\, they can also enjoy cruises to Double Bridge and back\, with the chance to see kingfishers\, herons\, swans and even otters! \nIt’s a great way to encourage people to support our campaign to bring this wonderful waterway back to life.” \nThere is no visitor parking at the locks\, but the site is just a short walk along a footpath from the edge of Pewsham.
