The Falkirk Wheel – a short walk from Spoke ‘n’ Boot – is organising some great events over the next few months.
Book and get full details via Scottish Canals and booking site Itison.
During weekends in October, the venue is running “Witch and Wizard Workshops“. On offer will be “magical fun for all witches and wizards” aged two and older. Youngers can enjoy slime making, pumpkin decorating, face painting, Halloween colouring and puzzles. Mini golf vouchers will also be available.
The Wheel is also hosting “Pumpkin Archery” sessions – again at weekends during October – for ages eight and over. Spooky fun for all the family is promised.
The Wheel is staging “Burke and Hare Boat Trips“ on 31 October, 1 November and 2 November 2025. William Burke had a hand in building the Falkirk (Canal) Tunnel (near Falkirk High Station), before he got into grave robbing and murderous acts with William Hare.
Finally, a much-nicer character is heading for the Wheel in December. Santa is taking part in “Breakfast with Santa” days on December 6, 7, 13, 14, 20-23. Ticket holders will each get breakfast, elf workshop activities, a story and a present from Father Christmas himself.
