About the event
The First Wharf opens specially during this viewing period. Clear conditions can produce a line of sunlight through the lock and channel; this natural effect is never guaranteed. Admission may be restricted when busy, and the viewing is cancelled in rain. Check the same-day announcement before making a special trip.
