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 Waterways Heritage Event on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 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. Click here to see more details of the short canal trips. 

On Saturday 18 July, Tilly will be participating in the Bicentenary Flotilla navigating around Goole Docks to mark the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Knottingley to Goole Canal and the port and town of Goole. This is a unique opportunity to experience seeing Goole docks from the water while enjoying a cream tea in comfortable surroundings. An experienced guide will keep you informed of what you are seeing on the day and how it fits into the history of the port. 

Proceeds from this event will all go towards enabling Tilly and her crew to continue to deliver her charitable aims. 

Boarding

Passengers will board at Spicers Auctioneers, the site of the former Yorkshire Waterways Museum, by the canal in Goole, at around 1pm.  This trip will last approximately three hours including the dock tour.
