Dragon Boat Festival 龙舟節 (also known as Duan Wu Festival 端午節) is said to have originated from the legend of a beloved minister and poet who threw himself in the Miluo River – the local people raced out in their boats to rescue him. Dragon boat races now take place every year all over the world.

To celebrate Dragon Boat Festival, Ricefield is holding a mini Origami Dragon Boat workshop at The Falkirk Wheel on Saturday 31st May at 1pm

Bring the family along for a fun afternoon of origami paper boat making with our artist Pui Lee to build your very own Dragon Boat and sail them on the mini canal for a unique experience at The Falkirk Wheel! Lovely ready-made Dragon Boats will also be available for only £2.
