Women’s day

TO CELEBRATE International Women’s Day, the Canal & River Trust is offering free boat trips between 1pm and 3.45pm on Tuesday, March 8. The trips from Cambrian House will give people the chance to explore the Birmingham Mainline Canal while learning about the roles women have played historically and currently on the canals. An evening of art, talks and theatre will follow from 6-8pm with Alarum Theatre and Manchester’s Idle Women at Birmingham Roundhouse. To book for either, visit the events page at www.canalrivertrust.org.uk and click on the Eventbrite link.
