A highlight of the event will be the Saturday afternoon and evening with National Trust extending the opening hours of the castle until 8pm, with free entry from 5.30pm.

There will be a barbecue and music before the traditional display of illuminated boats that the trailboaters put so much enthusiasm into.

Throughout the weekend there will be table-based Wild over Waterways (WOW) activities for younger children.
