A Night at Thames Museum
Thames Museum volunteers are looking forward to welcoming you to a winter fundraiser – A NIGHT AT THAMES MUSEUM – on Saturday 15th August from 5pm to 8pm. Entertainment includes Celtic music with harpist Katherine Mowbray; a talk, The Might of Thames, with Russell Skeet, and sing-along with Shelley Marie on guitar.

Admission is by pre-sold tickets, which are available at the Museum and at Carsons Bookshop. Tickets are $10 each and numbers are limited. A NIGHT AT THAMES MUSEUM is for adults only.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
