Animals have given humans a lot of wisdom over the years. Snoopy once reflected that, "my aunt Marian was right, but I forgot what she said", while Garfield commented that, "I’m not over-weight, I’m under-tall." But perhaps the most important words of wisdom were Ratty's in the Wind in the Willows who said, "there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." Choosing one of three possible deals, follow Ratty's lead with today's Groupon and enjoy a three hour evening cruise along the Manchester canals and indulge in a three course meal.

Take it easy of an evening and cruise along on the LS Lowry, discovering the waterways of Manchester and Salford before descending the lock onto The Manchester Ship Canal and River Irwell. Pass further into the heart of the Capital of the North before arriving at the Lowry Museum where Manchester's famous painter son and boat's namesake is immortalised.
