Nun Monkton ferry that travels between Nun Monkton and Beningbrough Hall returns this Easter bank holiday weekend

Now in its sixth year, the ferry will operate every weekend from Good Friday (April 15) until the end of September.

If you plan to travel in style with your children on the ferry to Beningbrough Hall this Easter bank holiday weekend, you can also enjoy an Easter egg hunt and nature trail. The ferry runs from 11am to 4pm.

A team of volunteers run the ferry and they have all completed a refresher training course in time for the new season.

Wally Grout, who has been leading on the training, said: “It’s important that the ferry operates to the highest of safety standards so all the skippers and crew have been out on the water to prepare for the opening weekend.

“We’re always on the lookout for new volunteers. We’re a good friendly team and there’s no better way of spending a morning or an afternoon pottering about on the River Ouse. At the same time we’re providing a service that people really value and enjoy.”
