New for Summer 2026: Stroud Brewery Lunch Boat Trips

Events

We’re delighted to introduce a brand-new experience for 2026 – our Stroud Brewery Lunch Boat Trips.

This unique day out combines a relaxing cruise along the restored Thames & Severn Canal with a lunch stop at the popular Stroud Brewery, offering visitors the chance to enjoy the canal from a different perspective while supporting local businesses.

Departing from Wallbridge in Stroud, passengers will travel aboard our trip boat through Bowbridge Lock and Griffin’s Mill Lock, taking in the wildlife, heritage and beautiful scenery that make this stretch of canal so special. The journey continues to Ham Mill Lock, where passengers will enjoy a pleasant 10-minute walk along the towpath to Stroud Brewery.

Once at the brewery, there will be 90 minutes to relax and enjoy lunch before returning to the boat for the journey back to Wallbridge. Tables will be reserved automatically for all passengers, making for a hassle-free and enjoyable day out.
