Set to take place at Morden Hall on the River Wandle, London, SM4 5JD, on the 21st May 2024, The UK River Summit Festival is an event which promises to be a platform for collaboration and communication to improve our river health.
The event will bring together leading environmentalists, businesses, individuals, brands, and members of the public who share a desire to work towards a more positive future for our rivers, both on a local and national scale.
It offers the public insight into the expert voices behind the headlines and the chance for campaigners, advocates, and conservationists to unify. Importantly, it promises to be a momentous movement, capturing the essence of community, culture, and environmental consciousness against the backdrop of our beloved rivers.
Speakers include the likes of: Lawrence Gosden (CEO of Southern Water), Lila Thompson (CEO of British Water), Feargal Sharkey (Campaigner and Vice Chair of River Action), Penny Gane (Head of Practice at Fish legal), James Wallace (CEO of River Action), Shaun Leonard (Director at Wild Trout Trust), Bella Davies (CEO of South East Rivers Trust), Jim Murray (Actor and Founder of Activist Anglers) and many, many more.
There will be a wild food lunch with DeliVita, cold Beers from Lakedown Brewing Company and soft drinks available, all included in the ticket price.
The afternoon will feature further panels and workshops throughout the day, from a range of local organisations and NGOs including: The Wandle Piscators, South East Rivers Trust, Orvis UK, WildFish, Abel & Cole, National Trust, Wandle Industrial Museum and many more, as well as comedy, music and film screenings.
