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?

Enjoy props and play in this interactive storytelling session for toddlers and their carers.
