A special treat for anyone visiting Skipton on Sunday.

Thinking of visiting Skipton this Sunday? If you do, you'll find the High Street filled with hundreds of classic and vintage vehicles - from supercars to American classics!

This hugely popular event is a must for car enthusiasts! There will be a display by the Fire Brigade, and local businesses will be trading alongside food and drink stalls as well as car-related stalls.

The show has been enabled through support from Skipton BID and is free to attend but donations are very welcome on the day.

Love was in the air (and on the water!) this weekend!

We had not one but two beautiful weddings aboard our boats – huge congratulations to Sharon & Jacob and Nikki & Jay!

One party tucked into our classic fish & chips, while the other indulged in our brand new Captain’s Afternoon Tea – both served with love and a view!

A big thank you to all the lovely walkers who waved as we cruised by – you helped make their day even more special.

And of course, a massive shoutout to Sally and the SBT dream team for delivering two unforgettable celebrations on the canal!
