Come and celebrate with us!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our first-ever Garden Party to celebrate the recent opening of Lidl and Premier Inn, taking place on Saturday 28th August between 11am and 4pm. The centre will also be going dog friendly from this weekend onwards, and to mark this pivotal change the centre will be holding its first-ever family-friendly dog agility course with lots of awards up for grabs on the day. All activity will take place in the external space outside Lock29.

The mini agility course will be set up for visitors to hop on and test their dog’s obedience and show-stopping tricks in both structured ‘prize winning’ and ‘free time’ sessions. As well as ‘Best in Show’, awards will also be given out throughout the day for all manner of doggy skills such as ’Waggiest Tail’ and ‘Floppiest Ears’. Not forgetting treats for every good boy or girl that takes part.

Our Waterfront Garden will be the perfect August Bank Holiday Canalside destination. Families can pick up a bite to eat and drink from Lock29 or Castle Quay and can then take a pew on the centre’s floral benches and specially grassed areas, to admire the planters and wheelbarrows that will surround this bespoke area. The event is completely FREE and open to everyone to attend!
