welcome

A warm welcome to everyone who is joining us at the Inland Waterways Association’s 2024 Canalway Cavalcade. Enjoy the sunshine (hopefully), enjoy the atmosphere (definitely) and enjoy each other’s company whether boaters, walkers, exhibitors or just those passing through this lovely area of London.

It is also a good time to stop and think. All these beautiful boats and happy people are making use of a historic asset which needs to be nurtured and supported. Millions of hours of volunteers’ time, enthusiastically given, has been utilised over many years to maintain and restore our waterways network. IWA is proud of its role in promoting restoration and in campaigning to achieve a lasting and magnificent waterways legacy for future generations.

How can you help? Well firstly, make the most of your experience at Cavalcade and tell others about it. Secondly, a common call on everyone’s lips, donate some money. Perhaps even more importantly, consider donating some time to IWA. Why not become a member and enjoy the companionship and enthusiasm of those who have helped make this event possible? There are opportunities to gain hands on experience of waterway restoration, or maybe just to offer your experience, knowledge, and skills to the many areas in which we are engaged. Come and talk to us today.

There is a campaign: Fund Britain’s Waterways, which is backed by over 125 waterways organisations. We hope that your voice and support can help us to convince our politicians to look again at their financial contribution towards supporting our waterways. The result of such investment is obvious, you would think, as who would not welcome the economic, health and environmental benefits that our waterways bring and should continue to bring to us all?

But my main message today, as well as thanking all the volunteers who make Cavalcade possible, is simply for everyone to have fun and to appreciate the boats, stalls, people, and waterways environment.

I am delighted to welcome you, along with thousands of others from London and beyond, who will visit Canalway Cavalcade 2024 this weekend. I hope you will have a wonderful experience and find a new appreciation of all that the waterways can bring to our daily lives.

This is a volunteer organised and run event and the Cavalcade team has been working hard over the past year to transform Little Venice and the surrounding area into a unique celebration and spectacle to showcase the richness of Britain’s waterways.

There really is something for everyone over the weekend and I encourage you to visit the information stands, the food stalls, the beer tent, as well as the many exhibitors and stallholders right across the event site.

The UK’s waterway network with its boats, businesses and buildings is not only a valuable part of our national heritage but is a constantly evolving neighbourhood, both for those living on the canal and the increasing numbers who live in the communities that are developing around our canals in urban areas. Right here in Little Venice, Paddington Basin, and Merchant Square our waterways offer an experience that blends an oasis of calm with all the modern bustle of one of the busiest cities in the world.

Our theme for this year is Funding Britain’s Waterways and, whilst we can enjoy the wonder of the waterways here in London and across the country today, our message is clear: insufficient funding for our waterways is risking all that we have achieved through the good work of The Inland Waterways Association and its partners over the past 75 years.

I urge you to support and donate generously to the work of this charity and volunteer-led event, and support the vital work of all those who have made the waterways what they are today.

Thank you for joining us this weekend. I hope your time at Canalway Cavalcade will encourage you to explore our waterways, not just in and around London but across the country.

We’re campaigning to...

Waterways fund britain's

Fund Britain’s Waterways (FBW) is a coalition of organisations representing hundreds of thousands of waterways supporters FBW is calling on the government to act now to protect the public benefit and natural capital of our waterways

Since launching at the end of June 2023, the group has created an impressive coalition of over 125 member organisations, including the Inland Waterways Association FBW also launched a public petition which has attracted over 50,000 signatures

Campaign Cruises in Birmingham, Gloucester and Westminster last year helped to raise awareness about the campaign and FBW has plenty more events planned for 2024

In addition to the FBW events taking place this year, the topic of “Funding Britain’s Waterways” has been chosen as the theme for IWA’s Canalway Cavalcade in a bid to highlight the funding challenges facing our canals and rivers

Visit the IWA Marquee to learn more about the campaign or head over to the FBW website to see how you can help in the fight to #FundBritainsWaterways

With your help, our canals and rivers will stand a better chance of securing desperately needed funding.

Schools' Art Exhibition

Cavalcade works with Westminster schools to stimulate an interest in their local waterways, an underused resource which can inspire ideas for creative work and relaxation. Pupils are provided with the opportunity to showcase their artwork and written work during Cavalcade, work which would not usually be seen outside of a school setting.

The participating schools welcome the opportunity for their work to be displayed to the large audience of Cavalcade visitors; many proud children and young people bring their families to see their work on display. Please support IWA’s efforts to encourage our younger generation to become involved in waterways activities by visiting the exhibition; you will not be disappointed! The exhibition is on the Paddington Towpath this year which is close to the curly silver footbridge.
