Stay on the Pavement: Please ensure you remain on the pavement and keep the roads clear at all times.
Stay in Your Block: The march will be divided into 4 blocks. Once the march gets underway, please stay in your blocks to ensure a continuous and organised flow.
Follow the Stewards: Our stewards are here to guide and assist you. Please follow their instructions for a safe and orderly march.
Litter-Free March: Help us keep the area clean! Dispose of any litter in the bins or with our volunteers carrying rubbish bags.
Respect Everyone: Let’s make this a positive event for everyone. Be respectful and courteous to fellow participants, volunteers, local businesses and the public.
Safety First: If you have any concerns or see any issues, report them immediately to our volunteer stewards. They will be wearing high-vis jackets.
First Aid: We have first aiders on hand for any medical needs. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
End of March: At 12pm, once the march is over, please help us disperse from Glebe Road promptly and safely.
Let’s make this march impactful and memorable. Bring your posters, wear your campaign t-shirts, and let’s make our voices heard! Together, we can protect England’s largest lake and demand action against sewage pollution.
Get ready for an electrifying event!
Save Windermere is hosting a march against sewage pollution in England’s largest lake on June 29th, 2024.
Join us alongside celebrity guests Steve Coogan, Lee Mack, and more as they rally with us once again.
We will be gathering outside United Utilities Information Centre, Windermere, LA23 1EA, between 10am and 10:30am on Saturday 29 June 2024.
From there the march will take a predetermined route down the hill to Bowness, ending on Glebe Road by the lake shore.
There will be family friendly performances, singing, face painting and more, so get your flags, placards, posters, papier-mâché and fancy dress ready!
The culmination of the march will see us gather by the lake on Glebe Road at around 11:40am. Well-known names and faces will speak to marchers about the political and policy changes we need to see to finally turn the tide for the environment and Save Our Lake.

What we’re marching for
We’re calling on the next government to commit to eliminating sewage from Windermere and to provide stronger protections for our beloved lake.
With the general election looming, it’s crucial for us to unite and make our voices heard loud and clear in Westminster.
Join us and be a part of history!
