We are very excited to announce that we’ll be present at the Tall Ships Festival in Woolwich on Saturday 29th August. The festival is part of the five day event being organised by Royal Greenwich during which a whole host of visiting ships will be moored in Woolwich and Greenwich.
We’ll be in Woolwich on the Saturday and we’ll be bringing our Saker cannon and lots of new merchandise including some fantastic t-shirts carrying the design above that you can buy to help us with our fund-raising.
