We’ve been working throughout 2025 to monitor the state of the River Char with our partners the Riverfly Partnership, the Westcountry Rivers Trust and Wessex Water’s Bacteriological testing lab in Bath. We've also organised the Charmouth Dragon River Festival, launched the River Char Charter, worked with our MP, the Environment Agency and the Clean Rivers of West Dorset Group, and more...
Come and hear 4 short talks about the River Char and Monkton Wyld Stream. Hear what we’ve discovered and what we've been doing, and find out about our plans for 2026.
Entry free – drinks and snacks available by donation
You don't need a ticket to attend. But it would help us plan if you would book a free ticket here on Eventbrite or email [email protected] if you're planning to come.
