FROST FAIR 2024

Saturday 30th November, 12 am – 5 pm

As the colder weather slowly approaches, we would like to invite you to our next big community event – Our annual Frost Fair!

We want to honour the special tradition that can be traced back as early as the 7th century of having some frosty fun when the River Thames froze over.

Such are the traditions of these Frost Fairs, we will be inviting local makers to sell their wares, alongside winter workshops, festive stalls, mulled wine & more!

Save the date & keep an eye on our socials for updates!

TIDAL LEA ECOLOGY REPORT 2021 - 22

The ‘Cody Dock Tidal Lea Ecology Report’ is the result of thousands of environmental volunteer hours; it illustrates the remarkable levels of biodiversity we have found in and around the Tidal Lea, a once heavily industrialised river, then forgotten for generations. The report will be used as a resource to ensure the conservation of the local environment and we will build on the work we’ve done so far to help everyone have a stake in the ecology of the River Lea.
