Comedian Seann Walsh, known for his memorable turn on Strictly Come Dancing, headlines tonight's Out of the Box comedy show at the Fighting Cocks. Tickets are sold out for tonight's event but Seann will be back at Old London Road in the new year and you can book your ticket HERE Also on today is a fantastic guided tour of the Thames from Teddington Lock to Richmond hosted by Jason Debney from the Thames Landscape Strategy. It's a great chance to see one of the many surprising creatures that live on the riverbed as the walk takes place in low tide and during the annual draw-off when river levels are lower than normal between the two tidal Locks. The talk also has a climate theme as Jason will be explaining how projects such as Rewilding Arcadia could provide a nature-based way to manage flood risk on this stretch of the Thames.
