If you go down to the Walled Garden in Lower Sunbury between now and the 1st March you will find an exhibition called The Power of Water with work by local artists exploring the effects of climate change. If, like us, you go for a walk along the river after visiting the walled garden you are likely to find the lower paths near the river under water. It’s like an outdoor extension to the exhibition !

There’s a climate change piano concert and talk by Terezie Wickenden coming up at St Andrew’s Church on 5th March 2026. It’s an excellent way to spend an evening, with lovely music and for a great cause.
