More Frost Fair activities
Our re-imagined Frost Fair celebrates some of the traditional and not so traditional activities, food and drink of the time…
We all know the story of the last Frost Fair in 1814 where an elephant walked across the Thames at Blackfriar’s Bridge. Now we can’t freeze the Thames to make this happen (we have tried!), but we have the next best thing in our life-size Elephant Parade. Don’t miss this spectacle where you are sure to be filled with amazement at this close encounter.
The elephant will be parading the streets of Bankside on Saturday and Sunday only, starting at Sumner Street.
12.00-12.30pm
2pm-2.30pm
