STOURBRIDGE Navigation Trust is holding its annual open weekend for waterways fans this weekend.

Thousands of canal boat enthusiasts are expected to flock to the popular event, the biggest in the trust's annual calendar, which is taking place on Saturday October 17 and Sunday October 18 at the Bonded Warehouse, Canal Street, Stourbridge.

There'll be a rally of boats on the Stourbridge Arm Canal plus a host of vintage vehicles on display including steam engines and organs, as well as children's rides, a large craft fair and refreshments including a beer tent.

The family-oriented event runs from 10am to 5pm on both days and admission is free.
