Announcing Estuary 2025 – Vessels: the third edition of the largescale contemporary arts festival celebrating the stories, places and people of the Thames Estuary. 

Through the theme of ‘Vessels’, Estuary 2025 looks beyond the boats and ships that move in and out of the Thames Estuary, to think about the festival itself as a vessel for creative action, exploring our complex and changing relationship to this intertidal zone.  

Estuary 2025 will feature newly commissioned artworks across multiple sites and will take place 21-29 June 2025, coinciding with both spring and neap tides to offer expanded opportunities for engagement with the Thames Estuary on land and water.
