Banbury Canal Day

Welcome to the "Banbury Canal Day" website. 

 

Banbury Town Council, with help from a committee of dedicated enthusiastic local people, is busy preparing for an even bigger and better Banbury Canal Day in 2008. 

 

This year’s event will be on Sunday 5th October and will embrace the 400th anniversary of the granting of a Charter to Banbury by James I on 28th June 1608. 

 

The theme will be 'Celebrating 400 years of transport in Banbury' to embrace our Charter and our three main sponsors - Thames Water, Chiltern Railways and Hook Norton Brewery.  We look forward to seeing you all in historical costumes, or of you prefer not to dress up please embrace our colour theme of blue and gold.

Booking for stalls and boaters are now being taken, please see 'How to book' for booking information and forms.
