Burnley Canal Festival

Enjoy a free, family friendly event.  

Visit the beautifully refurbished Finsley Gate Wharf and along the towpath nearby.  Enjoy lots of family-friendly and creative activities; relax listening to music; eat lots of lovely street food and maybe get on to the water too.

Look out for the giant and his mate Jack; flower displays that can’t stay still; a sky full of magical bubbles; dancing Wallopers, and possibly their horse, and go on a quest with the Towpath Explorers.  You can visit the amazing Exbury Egg; a floating museum, and browse the arts and crafts market.

Burnley Canal Festival is a fantastic way for visitors to celebrate the fantastic resource that is the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, and Burnley’s unique canal-side heritage.
