Mudlark!

MUDlark! is a cabinet of curiosities, thieveries, and musical mysteries from the English Baroque and beyond, with music by Purcell, Playford, Hume, Handel, Gibbons, Byrd, and other treasures from the Thames.

After a day of the city’s ebb and flow, come along, bring friends and family and enjoy an hour of some musical mudlarking.

(*mudlarks scour the banks of the tidal river for fragments of London's past, well-trained in the art of seeking)
