The Call Of The Severn - English by Severn Estuary Partnership

The Call of the Severn is an immersive audio experience, best enjoyed through headphones, which offers the chance to visit the estuary without stepping out of your front door. Relax and listen to bird calls, water lapping at the shore, and footsteps on the path. Let yourself be swept away in a story exploring connection and sense of belonging within the Severn Estuary landscape. Developed through workshops with local communities in South Wales, the Call of the Severn is a uniquely collaborative product of storytellers and writers, composers and sound technicians. We hope the experience reflects local connections with the Severn and will inspire listeners to forge their own.

The Call of the Severn has been produced by the Severn Estuary Partnership as part of the Discover the Severn project. Active in three communities in South Wales, the project aimed to connect local communities with the iconic coastline of the Severn Estuary, inspiring people to live healthier lives through improved access to nature on their doorstep. The Severn Estuary Partnership (SEP) champions a joined-up approach to the sustainable use, management and enjoyment of the Severn Estuary. We aim to connect people, ideas and the Severn Estuary landscape to ensure it is protected for our future generations.
