Sutton Weaver Swing Bridge → National Waterways Museum via turn at Old Quay Sunday 12th July 2026 | 13:00 – 17:00
Set Sail on this scenic four-hour cruise and experience the best of both industrial heritage and serene countryside.

Along the way, we’ll pass Weston Docks, still used today by coaster traffic, the iconic Runcorn Railway Bridge and Viaduct opened in 1868, and the Silver Jubilee Road Bridge - a 1961 replacement for the old transporter bridge.
Turning at Old Quay, we’ll head along the Manchester Ship Canal down to Eastham Locks where we will turn and head back to our berth at The National Waterways Museum at Ellesemere Port. .
