Tontine Garden End of Summer Celebration

Stourport Forward is hosting an end of Summer celebration in the Tontine Gardens on Saturday 13th September. Activities for the day will include:
Guided heritage walks
Boat trips on our heritage working boat, Bramble
Heritage Boat displays
Mini museum openings of the Tontine Stable and Old Ticket Office
Model boat decoration display where visitors can vote on their favourite

We will also have our hotly anticipated National Lottery Heritage Funded FREE self guided family trail and audio trail in situ. Visitors can view brand new interpretation panels dotted around the upper and lower basin area and take part in a variety of activities along the way, all whilst following the lead of our specially created heritage character to keep the younger guests entertained. For those who prefer to learn audibly we also have an audio trail full of useful facts about the area. Both of these trails can be downloaded from the Places and Trails App.
