| For 2024, The Rickmansworth Canal Festival was unfortunately cancelled. However, there was still a smaller event over the same weekend in May, known as the Batchworth Boat Rally, and we rolled out the return of the Batchworth Arena! The Boat Rally proved to be a great a great success, and is being repeated for 2025. So it’s back! Our Arena will be open to the public Saturday 17th May, midday until 9.30pm, and Sunday 18th May, midday until 7pm. Entrance is strictly only available over our temporary bridge onto the canal path, but once you cross the river you will find a haven of entertainment, food and drink. |
| Kelly Patterson, Batchworth Arena Coordinator, said “The Canal Festival had been the biggest single fundraiser for the group over the past few years and the devastating news that it was cancelled immediately put Batchworth Sea Scouts fundraising plans at risk. When the Batchworth Boat Rally approached us to see if we would like to help support their event we didn’t hesitate!” |
| Headlines on Saturday night are again local legends, The Four Horseman, with live bands performing across the day. On Sunday, our focus shifts to live DJs. |
