Easter Canal Cruises

Fancy meeting the Easter Bunny on a canal cruise this half-term holiday? Take a scenic boat trip for an eggcellent time on these Easter canal cruises.


What’s Included?

It will be eggs and hot cross buns galore on the Chesterfield Canal!

The Chesterfield Canal Trust will be running a host of Easter canal cruises across two different boats. Every child will receive an easter egg and adults will receive a drink and a hot-cross bun. Plus, you may be accompanied by the Easter Bunny!

There are many scenic views along the way as well as wildlife to discover while you cruise. Could you be lucky enough to spot a Kingfisher or a Heron?

Spaces aboard the cruises are limited so booking is essential.
