What you need to know


Museum Walk – A Dirty Business Past & Present

Join Steve & Geoff as they take you on a tour of Tewkesbury and regale you with tales of the ups and downs associated with Tewkesbury’s waterways, such as the Cholera outbreaks in the 19th century to the river quality itself.

Both Steve & Geoff volunteer for SafeAvon and help monitor the water quality of the River Avon. They will then lead you onto the Abbey Mill, where you will get the chance to participate in water testing, which might highlight the current poor state of the river’s water quality.

You may be in for a nasty surprise!
