Events on the River Brent
Walks, planting days and workshops open to residents across the catchment.
Upcoming events
The events programme is run by the partnership with local councils and volunteer groups. Sessions are free unless stated, and most take place on public land along the river corridor.
Check each listing for meeting points, accessibility details and booking requirements.
Guided river walks
Guided walks follow sections of the river where restoration has taken place. Walk leaders explain how the channel was reshaped, what species have returned and how flood storage is designed to work.
Walks last around ninety minutes and cover uneven ground. Sturdy footwear is recommended, and short routes are available for those who need them.
