Culture Cargo (Royal Docks)

This travelling programme of performances, conversations and creative encounters onboard will invite us to consider: How might trade and transport work on London's rivers in a carbon-constrained future? How will climate change and sea-level rise reshape the estuary? What can the Thames' history teach us about its future? How can creativity help us imagine new relationships between people, place and environment?

A new destination for Raybel as part of Culture Cargo .... calling in at the Royal Docks for the first time.

We'll be in the King George V Dock at the far east end of this huge dock complex, at North Woolwich, from Wednesday 16th Sep. Open barge days and then three very special closing events on Saturday 19th, afternoon and evening, when the airport is closed.
