What’s Happening?

Come along to our Festival and help our branch celebrate 50 years of supporting the local waterways!
Our fabulous floating market is well worth a visit. Take a look at the radio-controlled model boats. Possibly, find that perfect gift at one of the many craft and charity stalls. 

Maybe, you might take a trip along the canal, on The Milton Keynes Community Boat “Electra” .  Which will be offering short return trips from the festival site, for a small fee.

Find out about local artist Graham Pellow .  He will be demonstrating “plein-air” painting, and bringing a selection of his paintings which will be on sale. 

Take a moment to stop and speak to our wonderful volunteers, at the IWA gazebo.  Where you can see our huge waterway map, collect waterway info, buy IWA merchandise, become a member and take part in our raffle, to raise branch funds.

Admission is free.  Donations to IWA Milton Keynes Branch are gratefully accepted, and are used to support our  local waterway restoration schemes.  

Why?

2026 is a huge year for The Inland Waterways Association who celebrate 80 years of  campaigning and caring for our beloved waterways. Whilst, our own local Milton Keynes Branch have been supporting, maintaining and restoring our local waterways for 50 years!
Could you join us and contribute to looking after our area too.

We look forward to seeing you there!
