    Hello there
    I’ve seen your fab purple barge on the GU canal near Leighton Buzzard for the past few days (end March) and noticed a sign saying play activities in April.
    I’d like to bring my 7yr old daughter along sometime on the weekend of 16/17th April. Could you please tell me where you’re going to be that weekend?

    Many thanks
    Mark

    Hi
    Do you need to call and book to attend a session on the boat? Or do you just turn up without booking. If you need to book please give me the phone number.

    Regards
    alan

      Hi Alan – thanks for getting in touch. No there is no requirement to book on most of our sessions, they are free and open access. We do run some sessions with the boat alongside partners, like the Parks Trust, and at these events there may be a small charged raised, but we normally advertise that on the website. Hope we’ll see you along at one of our sessions soon.
