Activities

The Beale Park Trustees however subsequently decided to cancel their agreement with the Tamesis Trust despite the Tamesis Trust gaining planning approval for a museum at the park. The Tamesis Trust are now looking to display Cygnet at a new museum in Henley.
The Consuta Trust had a marquee at the 2023 Thames Traditional Boat Festival at Henley and agreed to display Cygnet during the three day show.
