We have arranged a trip to Foxton Locks at 6.30pm on Wednesday 4th September and we would love it if you could join us for a visit to the Museum and a meal at the Foxton Locks Inn.

The museum tells the story of the Lift, Locks and Lives associated with Foxton Locks.  It is home to a treasure trove of artefacts and exhibits; all housed in the reconstructed boiler house which once powered the boat lift. 

The museum has a new exhibition this summer called Roses and Castles which covers the history of the Artistry of the canal boats and their paraphernalia which travel our canals. Here you can also see the work of a local artist who still follows this art, keeping up a long established tradition painting various displays, buckets, kettles and jugs.

Afterwards we propose to walk down from the museum to the Foxton Locks Inn, which is situated at the bottom of the locks for a meal. Check out the menu choices on their website: www.restaurantfoxtonlocks.co.uk/menus/

The cost is £5,50 for the museum entrance fee plus the price of your chosen meal. To join, please add your name to the sign-up sheet at tomorrows monthly meeting or send an email to marketharboroughwi@gmail.com
