Rescue our river – baby session
Many animals are found in the River Thames today. Creatures such as fish, eels, seals and seahorses have all been spotted in the water – and even sharks, too!
But has the river always been this healthy? Join us for a sensory storytelling session about a fish who wants to make the Thames her home – but is the river as clean as it seems?
Expect gentle sensory activities including using soft toys, sensory scarves and movement. These sessions take place in our galleries, which may be dark.
