2013 Canal Festival comes to Rochdale with free activities for all the family
The 2013 Canal Festival includes a variety of free family nature activities, for people to come and learn more about their local canal network.
The Rochdale Canal is a 200 -year old stretch of water, which is now a haven for wildlife and a great place to walk cycle or take a long boat along. The Rochdale Canal is part of the South Pennine Ring of canals.
Rochdale Canal Development Manager Claire Teague said “This is a wonderful opportunity for children and young people to get involved with their local canal, to explore wildlife and get creative.
“Young people can try their hand at angling or experience an exciting waterway adventure by canoe. It’s great that the local councillors and the Townships are backing these positive activities along the Rochdale Canal which are part of the 2013 Canal Festival this year.”
