As part of the Waterways Heritage Festival we are delighted to announce that the Tilly Community Canal Boat, operated by  HFR Solutions CIC, will be visiting Goole to take part in our Flotilla Event on Saturday 18 July, 2026.

Tilly is a 60ft long trip boat , licenced to carry twelve passengers. Outside of her participation in the flotilla, short canal trips will be offered on the morning of Saturday 18 July and throughout the day on Sunday 19 July. 

She will also be taking passengers on her trips outbound from Thorne to Goole on 17 July and on her return from Goole to Thorne on 20 July.

Each trip on 18 and 19 July will be hosted by a YWHS guide who will narrate the story of the Knottingley to Goole canal and the port of Goole over its two hundred years history from 1826 to the present day.

Other than for the Thorne – Goole trips, passengers will board at Spicers Auctioneers, the site of the former Yorkshire Waterways Museum, by the canal in Goole and trips will last approximately one hour.
