This year, dance company 2FacedDance will be taking inspiration from our rivers in its performances, there will be puppetry with Sea Legs, while Nicola Davies will bring children closer to the wild seas.

Alex Wharton, the children's laureate in Wales, will also be hosting storytelling sessions, while Catharine Barr will be educating attendees on the importance of our rivers.

The festival, held in partnership with Herefordshire Libraries, and sponsored by Herefordshire Council, will be at Ledbury Library in the Master's House.
