About

These poems were specially commissioned to mark this year’s 30th anniversary of the Thames Path, appearing on finger posts along its route and evoking the powerful presence of the Thames across time as well as its extraordinary pull in our lives.

Join award-winning poet Robert Seatter - poet in residence for the anniversary - on a journey along the 200-mile distance of England’s longest and most celebrated river, charting its natural beauty, its chameleon changes and its mythic hold on our imagination. From its insignificant source in a Cotswold field to its urban passage through London city and out to the surge of the sea…

"These poems go to the heart of what the Thames means to us: a record of the river journeys of our lives." Sophie Raworth, BBC Broadcaster and River Thames lover.

This will be a free event, however places are limited so we ask that people book to attend.
