'It's taken 10 days to get my canal boat here'

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

Leicester's biggest free two day festival - the Riverside Festival - takes place this weekend. With everything from outdoor theatre, to trying out sports, to the best of Leicester's bands and of course lots and lots of boats, boat trips, canoes, all making the most of the River Soar. It brings narrow boats from across the country to Leicester for the weekend. Kay Andrews is an artist and floating trader who sells her artwork - she has chugged her canal boat up from Welford to come to her first Riverside festival, and tells Ady Dayman what she's most looking forward to.
