Many of our best loved theatres are close to the canals and a Canal Boat Holiday is a perfect excuse to treat yourself to a performance.

The Royal Shakespeare Theatre is a large national theatre owned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and is probably the most famous classical theatre company in the world.

Based in Stratford upon Avon it is easily reached from our base at Alvechurch.

The Mikron Theatre Group even comes to you on your Canal Boat Holiday as they tour on their Canal Boat Tyseley taking the exciting world of the theatre to venues all along the canal system.

The Bristol Hippodrome can be visited from our Canal Boat Holiday resort at Hilperton and during June and July they are hosting Footloose.
