Celebrate the arrival of summer in style with the Chiswick Pier Trust’s Midsummer Afternoon Tea Cruise on Sunday 14 June.

Guests will board a comfortable riverboat at Chiswick Pier for a leisurely three-hour voyage along the Thames to Teddington and back, enjoying a full afternoon tea served at their table while taking in the sights and sounds of the river.

The cruise departs at 2.30pm, with embarkation from 2.15pm, and includes a live commentary highlighting landmarks and stories along the route. Drinks will be available to purchase from the onboard bar, making this a perfect way to relax and soak up the summer atmosphere.

Tickets are £38 for adults and £30 for children under 12, and can be booked online at chiswickpier.org.uk or by calling 020 8742 2713.

With scenic views, delicious tea and a gentle river breeze, this midsummer cruise offers a quintessentially English way to celebrate the season.

Events like this are organised by the Chiswick Pier Trust which works to engage people with the River Thames. It provides access to the Thames and supports major river events, as well as organising events of its own.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
