The Finds Research Group is holding their 2025 meeting at London Museum Docklands, around the "Secrets of the Thames" exhibition.
About this Event

The FRG is delighted to announce that our 2025 meeting will be held at London Museum Docklands. We are planning the programme around the very successful "Secrets of the Thames, Mudlarking London’s lost treasures", which brings together a fantastic array of 350 objects, many of which are on display for the first time. As well as an opportunity to see the exhibition from a curator’s perspective, we will hear about the fascinating research undertaken by the mudlarking communities themselves.

The main meeting will be on Saturday 15th at London Museum Docklands. As well as the talks, the ticket price will include general access to the exhibition "Secrets of the Thames, Mudlarking London’s lost treasures” and a limited number of spaces on curator-led tours by Kate Sumnall and Stuart Wyatt. Tea and coffee will be available morning and afternoon.

A guided foreshore walk with Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) Finds Liaison Officer Stuart Wyatt will take place on the morning of Sunday 16th; exact time and place to be confirmed. This walk will have limited availability. For those who have not seen the exhibition on the Saturday, there will be an opportunity for you to visit the exhibition on Sunday (Self-guided).

Attendees will be able to sign-up for the curator-led tours of the exhibition and the Thames foreshore guided walk on the day of the conference.

Please join us!
