ANDERTON BOAT LIFT – ANDERTON BOAT LIFT VIA TURN AT ACTON BRIDGE WITH LIVE MUSIC – 30TH AUGUST 2025  1530 – 1900 HRS

On this cruise you will leave from our berth below the Anderton Boat lift on a picturesque cruise along the River Weaver to our turning point at Acton Bridge before we return to our berth at Anderton Boat Lift.  Cruising with us will be duo Le-Verg - performing an array of classics and modern tunes from Maroon Five, Eta James, Dua Lipa and many more.  They also perform some of their beautiful original music.

Anderton Boat lift opened in 1875 to transfer narrow boats the 50ft between the River Weaver and the Trent & Mersey Canal - today the traffic is mainly pleasure craft. The area is a scheduled monument and award-winning visitor destination.  Our berth is just below the famous lift, we are too big to actually go on the lift, but you will get a great view of the amazing structure on this cruise. Souvenir guidebooks are available on all our cruises for £5.  Further details on the cruise route can be found Here

Access to the Danny berth at Anderton Boat Lift is via a steep, step-free, path from the visitor centre and car park at the higher level. This may prove challenging to those with mobility difficulties.

Parking for this cruise is at Anderton Boat Lift car park (CW9 6FW) parking charges apply.
