Thamesreach Revels have built up a reputation of being welcoming and informative social occasions that are the focus of London activities.

We traditionally provide a themed workshop, with option for other activities at a community hall and outside area in North London.  This is followed by a feast by candlelight (or sunlight in the summer) and entertainments of our own devising, including dancing, singing, play readings and period games.

In summer we sometimes hold picnics at places like Queen Elizabeth’s hunting lodge, or Victoria Park in E. London.

Children are welcome under parental supervision.

The first visit is free. For regular attendees we ask for £6 towards hall costs, with concessions available. Please sign in!

We have a small supply of spare clothing, which is available if you pre-book and confirm you are coming on the day.   We have several experienced craftspeople who are willing to help you with your first kit projects.
