Rivers are the veins and soul of Radnorshire, they deserve to be celebrated and protected. As the climate warms and our mental wellbeing faces new challenges, this festival offers a chance to slow down, switch off, and reconnect with nature. For me, simply being by the river and listening to the gentle flow of water brings an instant sense of calm. – Sarenta, Wye Adapt to Climate Change Project Officer
All proceeds from the Rivers Festival will go directly towards efforts to restore Radnorshire’s rivers and support local Welsh farmers.
