Join us for a discovery-filled weekend as we celebrate the world of mudlarking.
Experience the thrill of holding history in your hands. Explore the playful spirit of Londoners through toys and miniatures uncovered along the Thames foreshore.
Discover the long-lost tools once used by those who lived and worked beside the river, and learn about the vital role the Portable Antiquities Scheme plays in documenting archaeological finds made by the public.
While you’re here, don’t miss Secrets of the Thames, the UK’s first-ever exhibition dedicated to mudlarking.
Mudlarking weekend is part of the Totally Thames Festival celebrations.
