Open Day at Stanley Ferry Workshop - 3 September

Discover how lock gates are made during this very special open day at Stanley Ferry Workshop.  

Meet the expert lock gate makers and find out how the Canal and River Trust is keeping a centuries-old tradition alive. During your tour of the lock gate workshop, where gates are still made by hand, you'll be amazed at the size of the gates (some are the same height as two-storey houses!)

There's no need to book but arrive early to avoid the queues - this event has been extremely popular in previous years.
