UK River Summit

The UK River Summit 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.

The main event is the UK River Summit Panel Discussions, which bring together all sides of the conversation in a search for answers. From the CEO of one of the largest water companies in the UK to scientists and lawyers, to regulators, celebrities and politicians, who fight for clean water, we want to ensure anyone who is interested can access and attend the event to learn more from these experts.

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 workshops throughout the day from a range of local organisations and NGOs including The Wandle Piscators, South East Rivers Trust, Orvis UK, Wandle Industrial Museum and many more, as well as comedy, music and film screenings.

Our event partners include Orvis UK, South East Rivers Trust, Lakedown Brewing Co., Filson, YETI and Delivita, with more to be announced.
