All Aboard

All Aboard is an inclusive community group based on a fully-equipped narrow boat on the Bridgewater Canal. We specialise in days trips, workshops and events.

All Aboard is Emma, Claire, Richard, Liz and Julie, a group of parents who were regular users of Trafford Council's Openlock Project. When the project came to an end earlier this year, we put in a successful bid to take on one of the narrow boats, 'Prince Henry, ' for local community use for the next three years.

The canal is the fastest way to slow down and our aim is bring you a variety of workshops and events to help steer away from the pace and pressure of everyday life and promote well being, relaxation and learning in a calm and peaceful environment.

We also offer a range of standard skippered day-hire trips plus themed and seasonal days out.

All are welcome aboard. We offer subsidised rates for charities, CICs and community groups, including children and young people with SEN and learning differences; carers; the elderly, and people with disabilities. Please contact us directly to discuss individual access requirements due to the space and layout of the boat.

Henry is moored at Stretford Marina on the Bridgewater canal. Free car parking is available. Alternatively we are a 10 minute walk from Trafford Park railway station or a 15 minute walk, along the canal towpath, from Stretford Metrolink station.
