The much-loved John Bunyan Community Boat is always one of the summer highlights on the River Great Ouse in Bedford.
You can avoid online booking fees by heading to the John Bunyan Boat Pop-up Box Office at the What's On Bedford Borough Visitor Information Centre to book your tickets in person.
The boat offers a range of scenic river cruises along from April to October every year.
The John Bunyan team will be at the visitor centre at 50 Silver Street in Bedford town centre on Wednesday 22 July from 10am-1pm and Saturday 1 August from 1-4pm.
People can still pick up a cruise guide from the visitor centre during usual opening hours, from Wednesday to Saturday 10am-4pm. Open all year-round, they can also find out about local events and information, buy tickets for Corn Exchange shows, and make enquiries to hire the Harpur Suite, Howard Room and Corn Exchange for weddings and events.
Cllr John Wheeler, Portfolio Holder for Customer Experience (inc. Leisure, Recreation and Culture) said; “Whether you are looking to book a special event or reserve tickets for a cruise, the John Bunyan Community Boat is a wonderful way to take in the beautiful River Great Ouse. Pop in to the Pop-up Box Office now to book your spot.
“At the What's On Bedford Borough Visitor Information Centre, you can also find out more about the latest events in the Borough this summer and beyond.”
Please note, John Bunyan Community Boat tickets can also be purchased online at www.bmkwaterway.org or call 07861 620520, but will incur a booking fee.
