Date and time
19:25 - 20:10The Southbank Centre is an iconic building on the River Thames but did you know there is a secret garden on its roof? This task is part of the Running Out of Time climate relay - more info on that below.
At the moment we are chatting with the Southbank Centre about whether a task is needed that night. If one isn't, then we will be visiting the bar on the roof for a photocall for the relay and then maybe staying to enjoy a few drinks in the sunshine. Details will be confirmed ASAP. Whatever happens, fun is guaranteed.
Please note - task size
Due to the size of the space at the Southbank Centre on 20th June there is a limit of 20 people at this task. Please only sign up if you are 100% able to make it.
