RIVER CRANE CELEBRATION DAY 
Saturday June 8th 2024 from 10.30am
Celebrate our fabulous river, meet neighbours and have fun!
Since 1977, our local River Celebration Day has been an opportunity for neighbours and their families to get together and enjoy the river. All local residents interested in our wonderful river are welcome.
10.30am: meet for COFFEE at Willow Cottage, 9 Talbot Road, TW7 (just over the bridge). Walk along the River Crane, see history of Talbot Road and Railshead Rd bridge with its medieval pilings. Please Note: 2024 route is Percy Rd slipway to 89 Haliburton Rd. This is due to nesting sites further up which we do not want to disturb (ends approx 12.30pm). Children welcome but must be accompanied by parents at all times. Waders and rubbish collection equipment will be provided. Wear appropriate clothing/sun hat depending on weather. Access via side gate.
During the River Clearing there will be RIVER DIPPING for younger children (weather permitting) at 89 Haliburton Road, access via river or side gate in road. A chance to fish in the Crane and find out more about the creatures that live in it.
