Smoke On The Water 2016 – register now

We began promoting our annual boat party in earnest yesterday and within hours over 100 guests had registered.

Smoke On The Water 2016 takes place on Wednesday 29th June, the week after the EU referendum, so as one parliament based person commented, "I may need an unwind by then."

As usual guests board the boat, a Mississippi style paddle-steamer, at Westminster Pier from 7.00pm.

At 7.45 we'll leave the pier and cruise down river to Canary Wharf, returning to Festival Pier where guests disembark at 10.00.

There will be complimentary drinks for the first hour, cash bar after that.

Smoking and vaping are permitted on the rear open deck and the two covered walkways either side of the upper deck.

If the weather is nice The Elizabethan benefits from a unique sliding roof that gives passengers a fantastic view of London's skyline and the many famous bridges we pass under.

One guest registered after our event email was forwarded to him with this personal recommendation:

"Thought this would be right up your street. Their events are always very good and what more would a Tory smoker want than this?"

Unconvinced? Here are some more comments:

"I'm really looking forward to it."

"Sounds great fun."

"I'll be there!"

"Can't wait!"

Finally, the picture on the Smoke On The Water poster (top right) was taken by Dan Donovan at last year's event, together with these equally fabulous photos.
