Cruise along Chesterfiled Canal with the Easter Bunny

The Chesterfield Canal Trust will be running a host of cruises aboard the Madeline and John Varley from March 30 until April 1.

Every child will receive an Easter egg, adults will receive a drink and a hot cross bun. The Easter Bunny will be on hand to welcome families.

Both tripboats will be leaving from Hollingwood Hub, providing a rare spectacle of two boats operating on the same stretch of canal. John Varley is usually based at Tapton Lock but low water levels there has nessitated its relocation.

Hourly cruises will run from Hollingwood Hub on March 30 and April 1 starting at 10.30am and on March 31 beginning at 10am.

If you fancy venturing further afield there will be cruises on Hugh Henshall from the Lock Keeper pub in Worksop on March 31 and April 1.

Tickets cost £9, book online at https://chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk

For a quiet, bunny-free cruise, the Seth Ellis tripboat will run from the Chequers Inn at Ranby on Sunday, March 31. There will be two-hour cruises at 10.30am and 2pm priced at £14 or £10 for under 16s, or a 40-minute cruise at 1pm costing £4.50 or £3. Book on the Chesterfield Canal Trust website.
