Smoke On The Water, Forest's popular annual boat party, returns on Wednesday June 24.

Join us aboard The Elizabethan, a Mississippi-style paddle-steamer, as we cruise down the Thames past some of London's most iconic landmarks including the London Eye, St Paul's, Tower Bridge, The Shard and Canary Wharf.

As usual guests will embark at Westminster Pier next to Westminster Bridge. From 7.00-8.00pm, while the boat is static, there will be a complementary drinks reception. After that, there's a cash bar.

At 8.00pm we'll begin a two-hour cruise, returning to Festival Pier (by Festival Hall) where guests will disembark at 10.00pm.

This year we're going for a Cuban theme. On the top deck, which features a unique sliding roof, guests will be entertained by a four-piece Cuban band, The Sugar Kings, supported by three costumed dancers.

Smoking and vaping are permitted on the two covered walkways and the rear (open) deck so whatever the weather you should be able to smoke in comfort!

Smoke On The Water traditionally attracts a wide variety of people from the Westminster village and beyond including MPs, parliamentary researchers, think tank execs and many more.

Places are limited so if you want to join us you must register in advance. RSVP events@forestonline.org or call Kristina on 01223 370156.
