- Over Wyre Seafaring Trip
Saturday 29 August 2026
Steamer
We head over the Wyre to sample some of the pubs out there.
Meet in the Steamer in Fleetwood at noon. Then we'll head down for the 1245 sailing to Knott End. Please note, this costs £2.50, there are no concessions, and it is cash only. Make sure you have change!
We'll then head to the Bourne Arms, Knott End Social Club and the Squash in Knott End, before jumping onto a 5c bus and heading to the Black Bull in Pressall. We'll then hop to the Seven Stars in Stamine, and then hop to the Ryecroft and Shovels in Hambleton. And then one final hop on the bus to Poulton for onward travel.
Those with dodgy sea legs can catch the 5c to Knott End and meet us there around 1pm.
