Thames Festival 2013: Firing on the Foreshore

Embrace an ancient London tradition by stomping through the mud of the Thames, starting a driftwood fire and making a pot out of the river's clay. The tradition dates back 6,000 years, and the incoming tide helps to make sure your fire doesn't cause any actual damage. Meet on the top of the riverside stairs outside of the Globe Theatre.
