caravans and people, for

stories to be told and
amazing things to happen
The main performance and activity space is shared around three intriguing
caravans, the 'River A&E Laboratory' and the great Samovar (see previous
page). Add the Water Ones wrangling in a comic chaos of pouring and
spilling, singing and dancing, and you are immersed in the world of water
and dreams of the river characters.
The Wye Serai Caravans are curated by artists and environmentalists (A&E)
to create intriguing worlds for you to explore, hosted and brought to life by
the river characters. They come together for the main Wye Serai events and
then dissolve to individual locations mid-week as they meander and
permeate through local schools, towns and villages
