Witness London's river come alive with a whole host of free entertainment as part of the Thames Festival at National Theatre.

Free event
The Thames Festival has collaborated with the National Theatre to give audiences the chance to witness amazing free entertainment, including juggling acts, artwork, and ballet as part of the Thames Festival. At the National Theatre you can expect Page Blanche which is an outstanding live art show featuring nine canvases stretched out to form a giant blank page.The beautiful Miss Behave, who specialises in sword swallowing will also be making an appearance.

Juggling masters
The Dutch group Cirq’ulation Locale are performing their energetic juggling tribute to famous boybands such as Take That, Westlife and Blue. This should be great fun for generations of mums who can't say no to a cheesy singalong. Other juggling acts are Kate Wright and The Gentleman Juggler who each look to put their own charming twist on the much fabled skill as they open Thames Festival at National Theatre.

Ballet with a twist
As well as juggling there is also a contrasting fusion of ballet on offer at the Thames Festival at National Theatre event. Abi Collins show Une Femme Exposee pits her as a charming, glamorous woman coming out of retirement and looking for love. You can expect many laughs and acrobatics from the show. As well as Abi, Lestyn Edwards performs his own ballet show as Madame Galina, a Russian prima ballerina still adjusting to the modern world.

Thames Festival at National Theatre is a free event which begins on Saturday 10th September and ends on Sunday 11th September 2011.
