Part of the QUEST - seven journeys through the landscapes of the South West.

Spectacular FREE outdoor events on the banks of the River Severn showcasing theatre, music and dance, spectacle and magic - in Tewkesbury on 20th June - and at Lydney Festival on 27th June. Severn Project has commissioned professional artists to work with local communities and young people to present new music, dance and performance to be enjoyed by everyone.

Come and experience ‘Severn Mud Larks’ a unique outdoor show performed by Desperate Men street theatre company. Meet surreal and comic characters face to face, listen to their strange stories inspired by the river. Enjoy ‘River Songs’ sung by community choirs and ‘Tide Land’ performed by a cast of community and professional dancers. Be surprised by fire and light displays created by Pa-Boom. Take part in the Midsummer fun celebrating the ancient River Severn, its culture and landscape. See our linked programme of creative learning workshops and road shows for families.
