Join us and the Take 3 team for The Lakes Festival Community Clean Up to reduce the amount of plastic pollution that is killing wildlife and marine life, devastating oceans and threatening the health of our planet.

Louise will also be reading from three of her water-themed stories Annie and the Waves, Rohit and the River, and Tight Lines.
