London Rivers Week 2025: River Dipping and River Art

Join Thames21 for a family craft and river dipping experience to celebrate London Rivers Week 2025

River dipping and nature-inspired art activities aim to get children enthused and inspired by the River Wandle and its surrounding ecosystem.

Children will help to create a bespoke piece of art that will form part of a larger artwork. Your art pieces will form part of a larger banner to display in the park after the event.

All are welcome. All U18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Free. Book in advance or drop in at any time.
