Sixteen boats on view at Middlewich

There will be sixteen shared ownership narrowboats to see at the Middlewich Boat Share Show at Kings Lock, Middlewich on Sat and Sunday 5th & 6th September.

Although most shared ownership boats are between 58ft and 63ft long, there will be two shorter boats to see at the Show - Minuet (Ownashare Cruising) at 54ft and the Little Dawn (BCBM) at 40ft. 

Minuet, managed by Ownashare Cruising,
will be on view at the Middlewich Boat Share Show.
She has a 1/12th share available at £3,500
This year the Canal & River Trust has reserved moorings above Kings Lock, so there will be 8 boats moored on the towpath side and 4 on the opposite side.  The remaining 4 boats will be moored alongside the chandlery below the lock.

Visitors can use the Kings Lock Inn car park free of charge, and the Inn will be serving refreshments during both days.  Toilets are also available in the Inn.
