Wizard Narrowboat Day Trips
About
For just £180, groups of up to 12 people can charter the vessel for a private excursion.
Alternatively, during the month of November, we're offering exclusive hot pot cruises for just £20 per person, where you can buy individual tickets and join other fellow cruisers on any Tuesday and Friday throughout the month. We're also offering both meat and vegetarian options, so there is something to suit everyone!
