Navigation House

Our Women in Power Children’s Trail is on for another week, so if you haven't visited yet, bring the family and discover the history of the female rulers of England and Great Britain. Boudica is our first queen. Come in and discover the story of her fight against the Romans.

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for all the lovely words of support after the break in on Monday. We had a record number of visitors yesterday, all of which came to wish us the best and say that they were thinking of us after the unfortunate incident.

We're excited for Easter at Navigation House. Friday 3rd will see the launch of the Women in Power: The Great English Queens and Rulers Trail (on throughout the school holidays), and our special free Easter Activities at Navigation House!

Don't forget that every month you can pick up a free copy of Towpath Talk paper from us at Navigation House. #towpathtalk #canalsandwaterways #boats #river @towpathtalkofficial
