A good route makes the night. For a scenic start, the towpath along the Erewash Canal is perfect for photos before you board. For a quick warm-up pint or two, plenty of locals head toward the small parade of pubs by Sandiacre town centre. If you're stepping things up, a short drive takes you to Long Eaton Market on an evening when there’s a special event, or Ilkeston’s Victoria Park for daylight celebrations. Many groups also plan a gentle detour around Trent Lock for riverside views that look brilliant in photos.
When you book, our operators in Sandiacre don’t just reserve a vehicle and wheel it up to your road. They run a quick pre-journey check: vehicle lights, sound and bar equipment, fuel and the route.

It comes down to mood. If you want a pulse-pounding night with club lighting and a big sound system, book one of the lively party buses.
