Watershed Celebrates Earth Day

Season

Until Thu 23 April

Our Environmental Group invites you to join us to celebrate the work we’re doing through Wild and Generous as we explore how to build a stronger connection with our immediate neighbour, the water. Join us on Earth Day 22 April at our Short Film Showcase and stay for a drink in the bar after to keep the conversations going. 

Throughout the month we will be celebrating water in different ways with special Q&A screenings, family workshops and more. 

Upcoming screenings in this programme

Earth Day – Short Film Showcase

part of Earth Day

Join Watershed's Environment Group for an evening of short films that celebrate community, climate action and storytelling to inspire change.

We have chosen these films as they showcase the human connection to water in different ways and inspire us to think about our own connection to water.
