River Thames Discovery Event at Chiswick Pier

A chance for families to explore the flora and fauna of the tidal Thames

Chiswick Pier Trust are joining forces with our friends at the Thames Explorer Trust this Easter to offer families the chance to find out more about the tidal Thames and the amazing array of flora and fauna it supports.

It’s a great opportunity to get youngsters in contact with nature over the half-term holiday, and to get them thinking about their local environment.

The workshop entitled ‘River Thames Discovery’ takes place at Pier House on Tuesday 11 April and will run from 10:00am till 12:00pm. The morning will begin with a bird walk along the Thames Path from Chiswick Pier to Chiswick Eyot.

At Chiswick Eyot there is the chance to explore the foreshore with nets to try and catch and identify river creatures such as crabs, shrimps, and eels.

The workshop is suitable for those aged 5 and over, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. To book your place please call us on Tel: 020 8742 2713. Tickets are £8 for adults and £5 for children.

Don’t forget to bring your waterproofs and wellies on the day – getting muddy is all part of the fun!

For further information on the Pier and how to get there, contact the Chiswick Pier Trust 020 8742 2713, follow them on Twitter @ChiswickPier or visit the Chiswick Pier Trust website.
