I didn't find out about this until Sunday afternoon, but decided to go along as they were having free boat trims on the river. I got a bus from Hammersmith to Chiswick, and then walked down to Chiswick Pier.
The festival was rather small - there were a few stalls there, but not many, and the Boat Club was selling refreshments - I had a cup of tea and a scone with jam and cream before I left.
Fullers Brewery were sponsoring the boat trips, and I managed to get on the 4.00 p.m. one, which was the last. We sailed nearly down to Hammersmith Bridge, and then back to Chiswick Pier and had a further little trip up to Barnes Bridge and back. A very pleasant way to spend a good half hour on a warm sunny day - sitting outside on the top deck, with a slight breeze blowing in your hair.
Afterwards, I walked back along the river as it was such a lovely day.
