Avon Fest !

We are coming together to celebrate the river and this valley. And to see what we can do together to restore the waters and lands around us. This is also a launch event for a new bioregional regeneration movement called We Are Avon, an opportunity to find out what is already happening in the area and how to get involved. ( weareavon.com for more info)

We have some fantastic live music, DJs, talks and entertainment lined up for the day, as well as delicious food from Janifa's Kitchen and Bath Community Kitchen - serving you up delicious healthy food from the valley! Music from Marcus Rees, Stan Elliot & Band and DJ Embo will keep us grooving through the day. Middle Ground Growers and other local business stalls will add to the Avon food market, celebrate the food of this place, grown with love whilst regenerating the valley! Some makers and local craftspeople will also have their work available to inspire from local clay pottery to river inspired artwork!

Dan Burgess & team from the Spaceship Earth podcast will be hosting a panel session with speakers Paul Powseland, Hamish Evans and Eva Perrin (e.g. from Save the Avon downstream!), to inspire action and share what work is already being done, and how we can regenerate our lands and waters together.

Electric Bear Brewery are kindly providing their awesome space for this event, at their independent brewery on the edge of Bath - next to the River Avon herself, and serving arguably the best beer in town ! We hope you can come and support the launch of this solutions-oriented movement, and meanwhile get a taste of the best local food, drink and music !
