Hello, I'm Julie. I'm so pleased to have joined as Marina Manager here at Wigrams Turn. I wanted to say a quick hello.

I've transferred over from Kings Bromley Waterside & Marina, another lovely spot in the Aquavista family, where I spent my time doing what I love most: being out on the pontoons, getting to know everyone, and making sure the place felt properly looked after.

I'm a hands-on sort of person, so don't be surprised if you spot me out and about rather than tucked away in an office.

I can't wait to get to know you all, hear your stories, and start feeling part of the community here. If you see me around, please do come and say hello, I'd love that.

See you soon 👋

Winter at Wigrams

When summer's journeys slow their pace,
And frost begins to lace each place,
The boats lie gently, safe and warm,
Sheltered from the winter storm.

At Wigrams Turn, the waters rest,
A peaceful haven, one of the best,
With friendly faces, lights aglow,
And quiet towpaths dusted with snow.

So settle in and stay awhile,
Enjoy the season's gentler style,
A winter berth, secure and true,
Awaits this colder season for you.

Description
Original 5 August 2026, 4:32pm
Despite our efforts to conserve water and maintain navigation, continued dry weather and falling reservoir levels mean we can no longer maintain passage through this section.

From Sunday 9 August, Locks 8, 14, 15 and 16 will be closed to navigation. Last entry into the flight will be at 2pm, with all locks closed by 3pm.

These closures are necessary to protect limited water resources, support navigation recovery and safeguard canal infrastructure and ecology.

Subject to conditions remaining suitable, we intend to provide a limited movement window on Monday 10 August between 10am and 3pm, with the last entry at 1pm.

We are closely monitoring the situation and doing everything possible to maximise available water supplies across this part of the network. We will continue to review conditions and update this notice as further information becomes available.
