Take Me to the River

A historic 82 year-old narrowboat transformed into ‘no ordinary’ theatrical venue.

Welcome to the Widgeon!

Moored on the banks of waterways at various locations throughout the UK, it’s like the circus coming to town.

It‘s truly, unique and a great hoot. There’s a full bar and lots of snacks available before, during and after the events.

Night Market - Canal Side Floating Market

Sat

October

Andrews Road, Hackney

Join The Widgeon Theatre Boat and friends along the Canal for Night Market. Well, it's actually from 12pm noon through to the evening but it is a great excuse to commiserate the clocks going back and celebrate the ghoulish tails, trails and er... carvings of Halloween.

Tickets also available on the door throughout the day. Please see times.

All events held on The Widgeon are on the riverbank. This means both the boat itself and the bankside it's moored to can showcase events, allowing all sorts of comfortable configurations.

If you have any particular needs or just want to enquire further, send us a message and we'll get right on it.

Whether the weather is brisk or balmy, the Widgeon offers great comfort.

"What a brilliant, unique venue, intimate, passionate and rocking. Well worth finding this 71ft long historic vessel and having a totally immersive time"
