SUMMARY:Robert Macfarlane - Is a River Alive?
DESCRIPTION:In a special event organised by the Stratford Literary Festival\, in partnership with River Hope\, the celebrated writer\, academic and performer Robert Macfarlane comes to Stratford-Upon-Avon on March 6th 2026. \nRobert will explain the transformative idea that rivers are not mere matter for human use\, but precious living things that should be recognised as such in both imagination and law. He’ll take us on a mind-expanding global journey into the history\, futures\, people and places of this ancient\, urgent concept. He’ll also talk about how\, around the world\, rivers are dying from pollution\, drought and damming\, but that a powerful movement is also underway to recognise the lives and rights of rivers – and to re-animate our relationships with these vast\, mysterious presences and landscapes we share. This movement is also beginning to ripple and flow locally for the water bodies and river catchments of South Warwickshire and Stratford-on-Avon District. \nRobert Macfarlane is best known for his books on landscape\, nature\, place\, people and language\, which include The Old Ways (2012)\, Landmarks (2015)\, The Lost Words with Jackie Morris (2017)\, and Underland (2019). \n\n\nBook tickets

SUMMARY:RAAR River Walk: Winter on the Arrow
DESCRIPTION:Community Walk and River Check-In\nLocation\nStart and finish at the Eric Payne Community Centre\, Alcesterwhat3words: ///nanny.earphones.view \nThis walk will follow the same accessible loop through Jubilee Fields and the nature reserve as our January walk. The aim is to create a regular\, welcoming space to walk together\, notice the river through the seasons\, and gradually build a shared understanding of how it is changing and what it needs. \nWe’ll take time to observe: \n\nhow the river looks after a month of heavy rain\nchanges in water levels and flow\nsigns of erosion or recovery\nwinter wildlife and early signs of growth\n\nNo expert knowledge is needed. These walks are about noticing\, talking\, listening and learning together. \nThe pace will be easy\, with stops along the way. The route is around a mile and a half and includes some muddy sections\, so sturdy footwear is recommended. \nDogs on leads are welcome. Children are welcome with supervision. You’re very welcome to come on your own or with friends. \nWe’ll be repeating this accessible loop monthly (weather permitting) to build connection\, continuity and a shared sense of care for the river. \nIf you’re able to join us or if you have any questions\, please email: riverarrowvolunteers@gmail.com
