Cost: £14
Non-member Cost: £14

Bookable | Deadline: 09/09/2026

Join us for a special Friendship Month taster event featuring a fascinating 45-minute narrowboat journey through Dudley’s historic underground tunnels and caverns.

This event is open to everyone, including non-members. It's a chance to try something different, meet some friendly Oddfellows members and discover more about our social activities and friendship we offer.

Tickets cost £14 per person, or £11 each when two people book together. Payment will be taken on the day.

Places are limited and advance booking is essential. To reserve your place, please contact Kerry Smith on 07365 579287 or email kerry.smith@oddfellows.co.uk

You are welcome to bring a family member or a friend, just provide their names when booking. If you are attending alone, don’t worry—we will try to pair individual attendees where possible so that more people can benefit from the discounted price. 

Places are limited so please contact Kerry Smith if you would like to attend this Friendship month taster event, and the event is also open to non-members, so please feel free to bring a friend or family member, just let me know their names. Once your booking is received, full meeting point details will be provided.

After the boat trip, we plan to enjoy a drink—and perhaps some cake—in the onsite coffee shop. Anyone wishing to visit the Black Country Living Museum afterwards is welcome to do so, although museum admission is separate. Hard hats will be provided and must be worn during the experience.

Parking at the canal costs £2.

Further meeting details including address will be sent nearer the date to everyone who has booked.

Please note: The boat trip is expected to go ahead if it rains. However, should the trip be cancelled because of severe weather, we will still meet at the cafe shop for a friendly cuppa, chat and Friendship month get together.
