Family Low Tide Walk (8+) - Sunday 21st June 2026

Join us for a truly memorable Low Tide Walk along the bed of Deptford Creek on the longest day of the year. Part of London Climate Action Week, this special session is a perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day - offering a unique opportunity for families to explore nature together in the heart of the city.

Led by our experienced guides, this hands-on adventure invites children and their accompanying adults to step into the creek itself. Using nets, you’ll discover the hidden wildlife beneath the surface, take on nature detective activities, and tune into the rhythms of this dynamic urban ecosystem. Complete the journey and earn your very own River Walking Licence.

Who can join

Our Family Low Tide Walks are specially designed for young people aged 8–14, nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a deeper connection to the natural world. Along the way, you’ll learn about local ecosystems, urban biodiversity, and the importance of protecting these rare and vital environments.
