Join us for a powerful and inspiring evening as we screen "Rave on for the Avon" – a feature-length documentary that follows a grassroots campaign to save a much-loved stretch of the River Avon in East Bristol.
At a time when only 14% of England’s rivers are in good ecological health, and none meet good chemical standards, this film couldn’t be more urgent.
🎬 About the film:
A heartfelt story of community, resistance and love for nature. Follow the journey of the Conham Bathing Group – local swimmers who launched a citizen-led campaign to secure Designated Bathing Water Status for their polluted river. Their mission? To force polluters to clean up and protect one of Bristol’s most important blue spaces – a place of healing, joy, and connection for so many.
🛑 Raw sewage, chemical runoff, and council bans threaten not only this river – but rivers across the UK.
🌱 This film isn’t just about the Avon – it’s about all of us. It's a call to action for cleaner, healthier waterways and communities.
Let’s come together to learn, be inspired, and explore what we can do locally to protect our own precious water sources.
💬 All welcome. Stay for discussion and connection afterwards.
