Following last year’s hugely successful 40th Anniversary Open Weekend at The Bonded Warehouse, the Trustees of Stourbridge Navigation Trust are delighted to announce that the Annual Stourbridge Open Weekend will go ahead again this year on 17th and 18th October 2026.

One request we make – we need volunteers to help run the event. Like all voluntary organisations, we are short of help. Why not do your bit to help run this event? A few hours between Friday morning and Monday lunchtime would be very welcome. Or how about becoming a Trustee? Please email your interest as soon as possible to our Manager via stourbridge-trust@btconnect.com.

Please download the Boater’s Entry Form below and return the completed form to us by post or simply popping in to The Bonded Warehouse, Canal Street, Stourbridge, West Midlands DY8 4LU.

The team of Harbour Masters look forward to welcoming you this year.

We wish you a good cruising year.
