Join us this Earth Day 2026 as Thornbury comes together to celebrate our environment and take an exciting step forward in protecting what sustains us most—water. This special community event marks the official launch of Thornbury’s participation in the Watermark Town initiative, a program that supports towns in safeguarding local water sources for generations to come.
This relaxed yet thought-provoking event will explore the vital role water plays in shaping our town—environmentally, socially, historically, and economically. The evening will feature speakers, including Meg Wise from Thornbury Museum, a panel of local experts, community leaders, and water specialists, followed by an open Q&A, offering a chance to ask questions, share perspectives, and take part in meaningful conversation about water stewardship and sustainability.
There will also be opportunities to connect with local groups as we enjoy some light refreshments, to explore how water shapes life in Thornbury—and how each of us can play a role in caring for it.
Whether you’re curious about local water issues, interested in climate resilience, or simply want to be part of a positive community moment this Earth Day, this event invites you to connect, reflect, and help shape Thornbury’s water-wise future.
Keep an eye on the Thornbury Town Council website and social media for more details about speakers, panellists and local organisations who will be taking part.
