A little late notice, but Runcorn & District Scale Model Boats are visiting us this morning and will be sailing their fantastic model boats in our canal basin next to the coffee shop. 🚤

If you're looking for something different to do today, why not pop down and watch? It's always great to see these impressive models out on the water. They'll be here until late morning.
