Announcing “The Gathering: for water and Nature”

The River Hope team are organising events around Stratford-on-Avon District and South Warwickshire between 6 – 15 March, 2026, to see water differently – as a living presence that connects people, place and Nature.

The programme was launched on 1 December, 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon: see presentation outlining the overarching vision (Remember | Reflect | Restore).

They are co-creating an opportunity for people across South Warwickshire to come together for learning, creative exploration and imagining, reflection, planning and action to mark the International Day of Action for Rivers on Saturday 14 March, 2026.

Expect: workshops, discussion panels, book talks, film screenings, exhibitions, ceremonies and hands-on activities that bring together residents, creatives, environmentalists, schools, local organisations, community groups and elected representatives.
