The REVEIL broadcast begins at daybreak on Saturday (London time UTC 0+1) and runs until Sunday morning. There is a limited number of places to camp overnight at Stave Hill and listen to the sounds of daybreak in the morning.
Stave Hill is the oldest urban nature reserve in the UK, a successor to the site near Tower Bridge founded by the Trust for Urban Ecology in 1976. The reserve provides habitats for resident and migrant birds including kingfishers and nightingales, and a striking counterpoint to Canary Wharf just across the river.
There will be pizza on Saturday evening and breakfast on Sunday morning.
Assemble and pitch tents during Saturday
Places strictly limited.
