THE Hippie Boat is headed for Uppermill canal in Dobcross this weekend.

The boat will have its rainbow flag and white striped canopy on show behind the Lime Kiln Café from Saturday.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the Hippie boat shopping experience from 11am on both Saturday and Sunday, with the boat set to be located alongside the towpath just 200 meters  from the free car park off Wool Road.

The boat sells a variety of products including fair trade festival style clothing for adults and children, accessories, bags and backpacks, trinket boxes, throws, flags and hand rolled and ethically sourced incense and burners.

The Hippie Boat will be joined by the Flow Eco Boat which sells a variety of natural skincare and soaps. The Pirate Boat UK will not be making it to Uppermill this weekend.
