Special Event

Mudlarking weekend

28 - 29 September 2024
All day
Free to all

A showcase of the forgotten objects of London's rivers, discovered on the Thames' foreshore.

Come and see thousands of historic artefacts recovered from the riverbed and meet the mudlarks who found them. In this interactive showcase, you'll hear the intriguing backstories about the artefacts on display in the museum.

Each object reveals a unique story about the people who once lived and worked in London’s Docklands. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hold history in your hands and talk to the mudlarks who discovered the ancient artefacts.

A wide variety of interactive, river-related arts & crafts activities will be offered by mudlark artists. You'll also have the chance to explore the museum by following a mudlarking trail.
