The Annual Birmingham Canals Clean-up weekend is a great opportunity to have fun and meet new people while clearing shopping trolleys, tyres, bicycles and even more exciting treasures from the canal! It is hoped this annual effort on the BCN will help keep the less well used parts of the BCN and Black Country network from getting choked up with rubbish and becoming impassable for boats.
This year, Waterway Recovery Group volunteers will be working on the Tipton areas of the Birmingham Canal old and new main lines.
Accommodation available from Friday night.
