The 3rd Annual Archimedes Screw Fest 

Join us to celebrate the River Dart and its most spectacular new landmark – the twin turbines of the Totnes Weir hydropower scheme.

We’ll be celebrating the many ways we all care for the River Dart – we support clean energy, make art, write poetry, stop plastic getting in to it, learn about biodiversity, become citizen scientists, notice problems, track and log wildlife, swim, boat and fish considerately…

Rain or shine there’ll be loads of fun activities going on all day …

• Turbine Tours at 12 noon and 3pm
• Eureka! Meet Archimedes in person
• Citizen Science and rivers bugs with Westcountry Rivers Trust
• Renewable energy technology workshops for primary children with REEL
• Join in with the “Plastic Free Salmon” art project
• Find out about Bio-Regional Learning Centre’s pilot Dart Charter on the Dartington Estate
• Learn about more community energy investment opportunities from TRESOC
• Yummy arancini (Archimedes favourite snack) from The Kitchen Table

The Screw Fest is Tour Stop #4 on Transition Town Totnes’ Eco Homes Weekend trail. 

How to get there
The site is accessible via foot- and cycle-path from Totnes to Dartington – it’s about half a mile upstream of Totnes town centre. It’s a lovely easy walk on flat ground. No parking nearby.

Hope to see you …

All best

The TRESOC Team.
