A friendly candle-lit fancy-dress Halloween Social walk along Thames southbank - from Globe theatre to Royal Festival Hall.

This is a friendly social walk..just for fun... fancy dress optional.. but recommended. Bring lights & lanterns for added atmosphere.

Actual walk is probably 30-40minutes. But we do it slow, with some stopovers along the way... for a night-picnic.

Bring some food and drinks for your self and maybe to share.

Bring pumpkins, Lanterns, and battery operated lights.. costumes.. masks etc.

Thames Tide if it's low we may get down the steps for some photos.

Our small ritual for ancestors

So as part of our annual Thames walk at Halloween, we perform a small ritual (10minutes) and each of us would throw some coins (1p, 2p, 5p) into the river Thames .. as payment for any souls who didn't have the money to pay the Ferryman.
