Live music, canal boat tours and spitfire flypast at Rickmansworth Festival

Posted by Siba Matti on May 6, 10 11:02 AM in

LIVE music, a tug of war and canal boat tours will all be on the agenda at the Rickmansworth festival next weekend.

The popular annual event is billed as bigger and better than ever before, with more than 20 bands on four stages, including Rock Choir, the largest contemporary choir in the country with almost 200 members.

Saturday afternoon will see a flypast by a spitfire and a hurricane, to mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, while a 1930s German Bucker Jungmann bi-plane will close the festival on Sunday with an awesome air display.

There will also be stalls, a children's farm area including a Clydesdale horse, plus an environmental fair marquee, and upwards of 150 boats moored on the tow-path.

The festival is organised by Rickmansworth Waterways Trust, which relies on donations. Please note visitors are advised to park in the town centre and walk to the festival site.

The event takes place on Saturday from 10.30am - 10.30am and on Sunday from 10.30am - 5pm (music begins at 11am), at Rickmansworth Aquadrome and Batchworth Lock.

The best person who can help you get good deals on
last minute air travel tickets is your travel agent, as they are aware of offers that may not be open for the general public.
People wait inside airports at departure gates
for flights going where they want to go because they know an airline agent will announce the last minute travel bargains at
the last minute. s owner will decide to accept or decline
the bid in next 3 hours.
