Magical family events travelling through the
landscape create captivating spaces for
wonder and entertainment. Be delighted and
provoked by our precious River Wye and its
connections to other rivers and people around
the world. Following the very successful first
River Festival in 2014, this year’s collaboration
brings communities and artists together to
celebrate the River Wye as our local
environment and a global water artery.
As with Wye Tourists before, you can immerse
yourself in an experience of the Wye’s nature,
be inspired by the Valley’s landscape, engage
in some contemporary artistic expression and
leave with a fresh appreciation of the place
and its relation to your life.
“
When you gaze into the River Wye’s ever
moving waters you are connected to every
other river around the world and all the
water in them and those other people
gazing into their river.
