Clowning Around at The Mayor’s Thames Festival in London
Fireworks, circus performers and street art combine to entertain families at the 2008 Mayor’s Thames Festival. Boris Johnson’s first Mayor’s Thames Festival promises to be a real treat for families with circus performers, street art and music filling London for the weekend party.
The annual Great River Race (Saturday 13 September 2008) has over 300 crews from around the world competing in a 22 mile marathon from Richmond to the Docklands. Serious rowers mix with fancy dress charity teams, each vying for one of over 30 trophies.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has teamed with CBBC to offer children a film-making masterclass and the opportunity to experience being a reporter or camera operator. The CBBC Me and My Movie activities are held in Jubilee Gardens from 12pm to 7pm throughout the weekend.
Sunday night’s finale to the Festival is expected to wow visitors with an explosive display of fireworks, launched from two barges positioned mid-stream on the River Thames between Waterloo and Blackfriars Bridges.
