Smoke on the water!

The Voices of Freedom programme of events (see below) will conclude with a boat party on Wednesday July 14. The party - co-hosted by Forest, The Free Society and Free Spirits - will begin with a champagne reception on board The Elizabethan (above) at Westminster Pier, a very sort walk from the Houses of Parliament.

For those who wish to party longer, the Mississippi-style steamboat will then go down river under Tower Bridge and on towards Canary Wharf before returning to Festival Pier on the South Bank.

Guests who attend one or more debates will be admitted free; for everyone else tickets cost £15 for one, or £25 for two.

Smoking, btw, is permitted on board The Elizabethan which has an open walkway on three sides. (It also has a unique sliding roof.) That's why we're calling the event Smoke on the Water!
