The Gathering: for water and Nature

Join River Hope in and around Stratford-Upon-Avon between March 6-15, 2026, to see water differently – as a living presence that connects people, place and Nature. The programme was announced on 1 December 2025 – presentation outlining the overarching vision (Remember | Reflect | Restore).
We 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: book talks, film screenings, exhibitions, storytelling, discussion panels, workshops, ceremonies and hands-on activities that bring together residents, creatives, environmentalists, schools, local organisations, community groups and elected representatives.
Collaborations with: Rubbish Friends, Stratford Literary Festival, Moving Souls Dance, UK River Summit, the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Brook Arts Hub and more – to be announced soon.
If you are interested in co-creating events, volunteering, exhibiting and sponsorship, please get in touch with River Hope directly: riverhopeinfo@gmail.com.
