Join us for a powerful and inspiring evening as we screen "Rave on for the Avon" โ€“ 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 Englandโ€™s rivers are in good ecological health, and none meet good chemical standards, this film couldnโ€™t be more urgent.

๐ŸŽฌ About the film:
A heartfelt story of community, resistance and love for nature. Follow the journey of the Conham Bathing Group โ€“ 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 Bristolโ€™s most important blue spaces โ€“ a place of healing, joy, and connection for so many.

๐Ÿ›‘ Raw sewage, chemical runoff, and council bans threaten not only this river โ€“ but rivers across the UK.

๐ŸŒฑ This film isnโ€™t just about the Avon โ€“ itโ€™s about all of us. It's a call to action for cleaner, healthier waterways and communities.

Letโ€™s come together to learn, be inspired, and explore what we can do locally to protect our own precious water sources.

๐Ÿ’ฌ All welcome. Stay for discussion and connection afterwards.
