Canal and River Trust event is the latest organised as part of its Hinterlands London arts programme celebrating the River Lee Navigation

A fun day promising “outdoor adventures, art and end of summer play” is taking place on the River Lee Navigation this Thursday (24th).

The Hinterlands Summer Event is part of Canal and River Trust’s Hinterlands London arts programme which is “engaging communities and creatively transforming” the canal that runs through Edmonton and Tottenham.

Running all day from 10am until 8pm at various locations along the Lee Navigation, activities start at Stonebridge Lock with a toddler and children foraging workshop, wildflower seeding, guided walks and canoeing. From Chalk Bridge there will be an artist transforming the bridge through Raynham School pupils’ amazing artwork.

Barge Fiodra will become a floating camera obscura experience with free workshops, heading towards Bloqs in Edmonton where there will be a free family activity with overhead projectors, outdoor drawing, sculpture, sound installations to explore and more foraging and artist making workshops.

Facefront Theatre and Jazanne Arts will be creating a special performance at Bloqs from 2pm-3pm and Enfield Climate Action Forum will be there all afternoon with some wonderful live music and poetry taking place in the outdoor stage area.

In addition to all this there will be live music from late afternoon until 8pm by an array of musicians, including Enfield’s very own community-based ukulele club.  It will be jampacked free fun for the whole family.
