Tots at the docks
-
Free fun play sessions for under-5s and their carers.
Free monthly play sessions inspired by the history of London's Docklands.
Dive deep in the river, stack cargo, put on a puppet show or build the tallest tower! Tots at the docks is an unticketed, drop-in play session that usually takes place on the last Wednesday of the month.
On selected dates, we'll be running additional (and free!) special events for under-5s with a range of fantastic early years partners.
