Whaley Water Weekend
2012
Get these dates in your diary: 8, 9 and 10 June
Whaley Bridge's 2012 Water Weekend W3 will take place on Friday 8 June, Saturday 9 June and Sunday 10 June.
Now the top summer event, the Water Weekend has become famous for its FREE boat trips.
This will be the 13th W3, building on the very successful event in 2011, when over 1,000 people took a boat trip.
Chairman Barry Rudd has announced the programme for 2012. There may still be additions, but the main attraction - as ever - are the free boat trips. Barry said: "The boat trips are always No 1 on our list. We think visitors to W3 deserve a break in these hard times, which is why the trips are free.. Other favourites coming back are the fairground, Punch and Judy, the meerkats, bags of stalls for summer bargains, a steam engine, and music, music, music! We have a first - a climbing wall."
MUSIC: Line-ups for the gigs on the big stage on Friday night and Saturday night, which have become a core part of the weekend, have also been announced.

Thanks also, to British Waterways for permission to use the canal basin and High Peak borough council for use of the car park.
