Win a riverside escape and trip to Secrets of the Thames!

We’ve teamed up with London Museum to offer one lucky winner two tickets to the Secrets of the Thames exhibition at London Museum Docklands, plus an overnight stay at the Tower Hotel.

Secrets of the Thames: Mudlarking London’s lost treasures

Twice a day, the River Thames dramatically recedes to expose a landscape unknown to most Londoners. Among the mud and stones, the tides reveal remarkable objects.

Step into the shoes of a mudlark and unearth fascinating stories from London’s past in the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to mudlarking. Uncover over 350 artefacts and discover how the finders identify and curate their personal collections.

Blending archaeology with contemporary art and immersive digital experiences, Secrets of the Thames offers fresh perspectives on London and all its people—past and present.
