St Richard's Canal Festival, Droitwich

<p>We&#39;re in Droitwich for the St Richard&#39;s Canal Festival, an event which has it&#39;s roots in the restoration of the Droitwich Canals. We hear from the organiser about it&#39;s history and the canal society behind it, learn about the historic boat, <em>Bramble</em>, talk to exhibitors and stall holders, and the trust which operates the community boat, <em>Pamela May 2</em>. And the whole event concludes with the annual duck race on the River Salwarpe.</p><p>Click the links for more information on <a href="http://www.strichardsfestival.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">St Richard&#39;s Festival</a>; the <a href="https://wbdcs.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Worcester, Birmingham and Droitwich Canals Society</a>; <a href="https://www.stourportforward.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Stourport Forward</a>; <a href="http://www.hod2020.redditchmuseum.org.uk/model_boats.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Little Radford Model Boat Club</a>; and <a href="https://www.rosiephilpott.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Rosie Philpott</a>.</p><p>The Water Road is produced and presented by Adam Porter.</p><p>If you enjoy what I do, consider supporting me on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/thewaterroad</p>
