Step into the muddy, mysterious world of mudlarking this September at London Museum Docklands, as part of the Totally Thames Festival celebrations.

Join London Museum Docklands for a discovery-filled weekend celebrating the thrill of uncovering London’s hidden history along the Thames foreshore. From expert talks to a free object showcase featuring real mudlarks and their fascinating finds, this event invites visitors of all ages to experience the excitement of holding history in their hands.

Explore the playful spirit of Londoners through toys and miniatures lost to time, and discover the tools and treasures once used by those who lived and worked beside the river. Learn about the vital work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme, which helps document archaeological finds made by the public.

While you're here, don’t miss Secrets of the Thames—the UK’s first-ever exhibition dedicated to mudlarking, offering a deeper dive into this unique urban archaeology.

Whether you're a seasoned mudlark or simply curious, this weekend promises muddy fun, rich stories, and unforgettable encounters with London’s past.
