Discover the Severn Activity Packs
Explore our Discover the Severn Activity Packs and find out more about all of the different activities that you can do to get outside and #DiscoveryourSevern Estuary!
Litter Bingo
Have a go at litter picking in your local community – you can use the Litter Bingo sheets to see how many different types of litter you can find! Use the litter pickers, gloves, bin bags and hoops provided in the Activity Packs. Remember to read the safety sheet, sign out the kit on the litter picking form and bring the kit back when you are done!
If you’re not near to one of our Activity Pack sites, you can still use the Litter Bingo sheets to do your own local litter pick – make sure you check the tide times for your local area, use gloves and hand sanitiser, and put all of the litter you pick in bin bags to take away with you!
Call of the Severn
Our very own Severn story – the Call of the Severn is an immersive audio story of belonging and connection with the estuary. Take the memory stick from the box and insert it into a computer, navigate to the memory sticks folders and choose the MP3 file named ‘Call of the Severn’ in either Welsh or English language. Best experienced with a cup of tea, this relaxing audio will transport you straight to the Severn.
