Wolverton Canal & Rail Festival

📅 Sat 12 – Sun 13 Sep 2026📍 Wolverton Park Railway Sports Ground and Grand Union Canal, Buckinghamshire

Wolverton Canal & Rail Festival has finished for 2026. It ran Sat 12 – Sun 13 Sep 2026 at Wolverton Park Railway Sports Ground and Grand Union Canal, Buckinghamshire.

Events like this are usually annual. We have not yet had next year's date confirmed by MK Canals, sponsored by Wolverton & Greenleys Town Council — once it is, we will update this page and add it back to canal & waterway events. Get the weekly email and you will hear about it as soon as it lands.

A weekend celebrating Wolverton's shared canal and railway heritage, with an RCTA floating market of trading boats on the Grand Union Canal both days. On the Sunday the festival expands into the Wolverton Park railway sports ground with stalls, talks, music and food, and no booking is needed except for the electric boat cruises.
