Lincolnshire South Regional Events - Drive out to Foxton Locks. July 2026
July Thursday 16th Drive Out / Lunch Today we plan to drive out to Foxton Locks, with a lunch at the “Shoulder of Mutton”. 60 Main Street, Foxton, Market Harborough, LE16 7RB. Tel: 01858 681080.
The pub is a popular venue and in good weather the car park can fill up quickly, so please arrive in good time to secure your place. However it is also possible to park in the village itself.
The pub opens at 12.00 and we will be dining at 12:30.
The pub is accessible to wheelchair users and has an accessible washroom too.
Their lunchtime menu will be circulated to all nearer the time (circa June) from which you can make your selections (starter and main course). Desserts do not require selection in advance.
If the weather is good, and for those who wish to explore the locks, the plan is to arrive early at circa 10.00 am for a gentle walk along the towpath to the famous flight of locks. Tea/Coffee and toilets are available at the locks which is just one mile by foot (20 minutes) from the Shoulder of Mutton.
A relaxing walk taking in the cafes, museum and locks returning to the Shoulder of Mutton will take about 90 minutes, The walk does include canal footpaths, gradients, some steps and if wet, puddles, so please bear this in mind when selecting what to wear.
Please ensure that you have signed up for this trip out to Foxton. A deposit of £10 per head will secure your place.
Suggested Routes will also be provided nearer the time.
This event is open to all members of the JEC South Lincolnshire Region.
