OPEN DAYS

Over the years that we’ve been building top quality narrow boats, we’ve listen to our customer and made vast improvements in the way we build boats! We’ve also listened to customers comments on the way we sell boats!

Getting involved with the two main shows, The Crick Boat Show and The National Inland Waterways Festival, not only have we been able to chat to a great number of people and show off our very high quality work but the money we pay to attend also goes to improve and assist in a great number of canal projects!

These shows are now getting very popular and have grown rapidly over the years. A great many people have made comment that this is not so good for the true narrow boat enthusiasts, who feel that these shows have been ambushed by the craft fair type exhibitors, which is an unwelcome distraction from what they’ve actually come to the show for in the first place.

It is for this reason that we have decided to put on Kingsground Open Days and invite companies that are relevant to our industry so you can chat with them about your requirements at your leisure.

We display around 20 boats for you to look at. Staff and some owners will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.

Details of our next Open Day will be posted on this page.
