White Mills Open Day

WHITE MILLS MARINA on the Nene at Earls Barton will be hosting an Open Day on Sunday 8th June.

And told this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than previous years.

Live music

With live music from 'Odds ‘n’ Sods' and 'Whisky Flowers' the Open Day begins at 1pm, and exhibitors will include a variety of boating related trade stands from Nationwide Boat sales and canopy experts Corby Covers. 

Entry is free and visitors will also be able to enjoy a selection of Arts & Crafts stalls along with Canal Art and facepainting.

The Marina’s charity of the year 2025 is Northampton based Pink Rooster and White Mills will be running a raffle during the day to raise much needed cash with the top prize being a flying lesson courtesy of CAB Aero. 

Refreshments will be available on site from The boathouse during the afternoon, with a bar and pizza in the evening. Marina Manager for White Mills Marina, Georgina Wickham, tells:

Looking forward

“We are so looking forward to this year’s Open Day as it gives us the opportunity to show boaters what White Mills Marina and the beautiful river has to offer. It will also give would-be boaters the opportunity to chat to professionals about boating and learn more about the Uk’s fabulous waterways network and what is involved in owning a narrowboat. Definitely worth a visit.”
