Tales of the River was made possible thanks to the generous support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Over the past three years (2022-2025), and with heartfelt thanks to National Lottery players, we’ve been able to uncover and share the incredible story of the River Colne like never before.

​

From community events and creative workshops to expert talks and immersive experiences, the project has brought people closer to the river, its history, its wildlife, and its role in shaping our local landscape.

​

We believe everyone deserves to hear the story of the River Colne. Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply curious about the world around you, Tales of the River offered something for everyone and all completely free, thanks to National Lottery support.

​

Though the project has now come to a close, its legacy lives on through the memories made, the knowledge shared, and the continued passion for protecting and celebrating this remarkable chalk stream.
