We’re delighted to be taking part in England’s largest celebration of history and culture again this year. The festival brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history, and offers the perfect opportunity to see hidden places and try out new experiences!
It’s FREE to explore our unique Freshwater carrier the SS Freshspring, moored on Landivisiau Walk in Bideford.
We look forward to welcoming you on board where you can do a self-guided tour of the ship. Other activities will be on offer including rope-making and Morse code as well as a Teddy Bear Hunt for the younger children. We’ll also have out Virtual Reality Film for all ages.
Come and listen to some live music from the band “QT Swing” (formerly “End of the Road”) featuring Tenor Sax, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Percussion and vocals. They’ll be playing Swing Jazz from the 20s to the sixties and also traditional blues during the afternoon.
You can find out about volunteering opportunities and talk to our knowledgeable volunteers about the history of the ship, our Trust and membership.
Please note that there are no toilets on board but public toilets are available nearby.
We are wheelchair accessible onto the main deck.
