MOIRA CANAL FESTIVAL

Whether it is a Battle of Britain Memorial Fight flypast, Morris dancing, children's crafts, local bands and singers, historical re-enactment or something more unusual... there is always something to entertain the whole family at the Moira Canal Festival and Home Run Hounds are excited to be taking park again this year. 

There will be a planned Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast, music with an assortment of bands and singers over the weekend. Morris dancing will liven things up, there will be crafty fun and entertainment for the children, live steam, train rides, a variety of stalls and demonstrations, boats, bar and refreshments This will all revolve around the banks of the Ashby Canal at Moira Furnace at the Heart of the National Forest. And meet Mother Duck and her ducklings and enter a duck in the annual Duck Race along the Ashby Canal.

Come along and meet our volunteers and their hounds and find out more about greyhounds as pets. Several homeless hounds will be coming along too looking for their forever families. Could it be you?
