About
The Leven Catchment Festival is bringing people together to explore the rivers, places and stories that connect us across the catchment. Through a series of events culminating in a one-day celebration in October (exact date TBC), we will explore what it means to be part of a shared catchment and celebrate the many memories, experiences and perspectives that shape it.
