Freeman at the IWA Festival
We shall be having a stand in the boat show (G2) and a Freeman Club get-together on the Sunday evening. We will be meeting in the main bar for any members who wish to join us for a drink.
You will need to purchase the evening stay arm band (available from the Freeman Stand) which allows you to stay for the additional attractions, including the illuminated boat pagent (scheduled on Sunday evening).
We will not be displaying specific Freeman items on the stand, the Freeman shop however will be open at Sheridan Boatyard which is close by.
Come and visit us on stand G2.
Something for Everyone
Featuring Free Boat Rides, Historic Boats, a fantastic Trade Show with over 200 exhibitors. Not forgetting the 40+ real ales which will be available together with a wide choice of food. There really is something for everyone, including a classic motor vehicle display, medieval jousting in the arena, craft workshops, boat rides and a full programme of events for children.
For the Children
WOW (Wild Over Waterways) activities for children will be taking place over the weekend. They can learn about wooden boat building, plate painting, horse boating, knot tying, First Aid, restoring waterways, brass rubbing and many other waterway activities.
For just £1, children receive a Passport which they take to FREE activity points around the Festival site. Each time they take part in an activity they will receive a sticker on their Passport and when they have finished, they can claim a small prize. Parents can join in too if they wish. The Circus skills workshops, Punch & Judy and balloon modelling will also ensure that the youngest members of the family are fully entertained.
