Etruria Canals Festival is back! Alongside the historic narrowboat gathering there will be a range of family friendly workshops, arts and heritage activities, performances, craft stalls and exhibitors, beer tent and street food.

In 2026 the festival will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stoke Garden Festival which took place just down the road on the site now known as Festival Park—look out for more details coming soon.

The festival is FREE to attend. We hope to see you there!

B.ARTS co-run the festival with the Etruria Canals Festival Group, which includes representatives from Etruria Industrial Museum and Jesse Shirley’s Bone and Flint Mill, Etruria Boat Group and Nimble Fingers, Etruria Artists alongside local residents.

As usual the festivities will take place on the site of Etruria Industrial Museum (Kiln Down Close, Stoke-On-Trent, ST1 4RB) at the junction of the Trent and Mersey and Caldon Canals.
