Mercury and Dr Feelgood to headline at Crick Boat Show

One of the world’s leading Queen tribute bands, Mercury, and world-renowned British band Dr Feelgood will take to the stage at this year’s Crick Boat Show (23-25 May).

Organised by Waterways World in partnership with the Canal & River Trust and Crick Marina, the show expects to attract over 26,000 visitors across three days. This year, an extra Trade & Preview Day in association with LeeSan is to be held on Friday 22 May – with tickets only available in advance.

Matthew Symonds, National Boating Manager for the Canal & River Trust, says: “Every year Crick Boat Show, the UK’s biggest inland waterways festival, celebrates Britain’s fantastic network of canals and rivers. We look forward to welcoming thousands of visitors to Crick for a fantastic day out by the Grand Union Canal Leicester Line in the Northamptonshire countryside, with the chance to discover more about the recreation, health and wellbeing opportunities our waterways offer people today.”

The show is said to be the canal world’s biggest marketplace, showcasing the inland waterways industry with nearly 300 exhibitors.

Tickets for the Trade & Preview Day on Friday 22 May are only available in advance, at £19.50.
