The Gathering

for water and Nature: remember, reflect, restore

Join us around Stratford-on-Avon District and South Warwickshire between March 6 – 15, 2026, to see water differently – as a living presence that connects people, place and Nature. The programme was launched on 1 December 2025: a presentation and more details here.

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.
