The World's Oldest Boat Race - Doggett's Coat and Badge
2025-01-30 20:00 - 22:00
Since 1715, the Race for Doggett’s Coat and Badge has been passionately rowed by apprentice river workers on the Thames. It is believed to be the oldest continually competed sporting event in the world. Despite its fascinating history, little of Doggett’s is documented and it has long been overshadowed by the much more famous Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
With an introduction from Celia Holman – who assisted the Thames Festival Trust on this project back in 2018 – this 30-minute documentary brings to life a hidden history at the very heart of London, passed down through generations of Thames Waterman.
We follow Alfie and George in the lead up to the 2018 race, and interview past winners and competitors who tell us the coveted race’s history and the fierce rivalries and family traditions that have ensured it has continued for so many years

As usual, tea and coffee will be on offer, we won’t know if the bar is open until the night, so best to be prepared and BYO if you’d like something cooler.

Mudlarking; a fascinating insight into the treasures revealed by the Thames at low tide (+TEAMS)
2024-09-12 20:00 - 22:00
by Official Mudlark and author Jenny Ridgewell
For years I’ve been a food writer but when I returned to London to live by the Thames, things changed. At low tide I saw people on the foreshore poking about in the shingle. What were they looking for? To find out I joined them and eventually registered as one of 5000 official Mudlarks that have a licence to search the riverbank. I was so excited to discover London’s history from discarded things in the river that I’ve written a book – Guide to Mudlarking – and I’ll share my foreshore finds and stories with you. Votive offerings from this sacred river like Ganesh emerging from the mud, ancient bone tools from the people that lived in Putney, pottery pieces with fascinating stories like the paste that sailors took for long journeys. Things I’ve never found like the typeface that was thrown into the river, discovered years later and used on the architecture for Tideways Supersewer.
