Disco Night On The Thames

Thames RiverCruise are bringing their 80s & 90s disco nights back to the Upper Thames, with the next one setting off from Caversham Pier on Saturday 14 November. It's an adults-only party night on the river, run by Thames RiverCruise as a night out for friends, family or work colleagues. The music is provided by Thames Valley Discos, and the set spans favourite tracks from both decades.

There's a bit of a dress code encouraged here, though it's not compulsory: bucket hats, shell suits, fingerless gloves, neon and big hair are all welcome, and the night leans on the crowd to bring the era to life. The cruise runs for 180 minutes, and there's a fully stocked bar on board, though no food is served, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're planning a late one.

It's not a one-off, either. This is part of a wider run of dates throughout the year, with the disco nights returning on Friday 19 June, Saturday 11 July, Saturday 19 September, Saturday 14 November and Saturday 5 December 2026. Each one follows the same format: boarding from 19:00, departure at 19:30, and returning to Caversham Pier by 22:30. The boat is the Caversham Princess, which departs from Caversham Pier, Caversham, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 8BD.

Tickets are £28.00 per adult, and they're available by online booking only. With boarding from 19:00 and the boat leaving at 19:30, you've got a half-hour window to get on board before it sets off for the three-hour round trip, returning to the pier by 22:30.
