Camden Canals Halloween

The Halloween trip is a unique trip through Islington Tunnel at halloween on board one of London's community narrowboats specially decorated for the occasion with a friendly witch amongst the crew. Be prepared for some surprise goings-on in the darkness of the 185 year old tunnel! Kids receive sweets or fruit on board and a free glowstick.

Places are limited on each trip. Babies are counted even if they are carried in arms. The Canal Museum Trust sells boat trip tickets as agent for the Camden Canals and Narrowboat Association. You are advised to be at the museum at least 15 minutes before your trip - the boat cannot wait for latecomers.

Volunteering

The event takes a lot of staffing and is volunteer run. Both the canal museum and the CCNA would be interested to hear from new volunteers both for this event and for other work. The addresses are volunteering@canalmuseum.org.uk and volunteers@candencanals.org. The CCNA are particularly interested in hearing from people who would like to be friendly witches for the two evenings.
