The Huddlesford Heritage Gathering is organised jointly by the Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust and The Lichfield Cruising Club. The event was first held in 2004 as part of the Celebr18th Festival in Lichfield, to celebrate a time when canals were a new mode of transportation and Lichfield was at the centre of everything new - in the 18th century.
The most recent event was in September 2019.
For the latest news on the next event in 2021 see the HHG website.
