RIVER BRIDE | PERFORMER | POET 
IMAGINATION ACTIVIST

In 2023, Meg Trump was worried about pollution of her local River Avon. She decided to turn her concern into art by marrying the entity she loved through hosting a public wedding to the river. During the ceremony she vowed to protect her beloved and encouraged all participants to do the same. This powerful act of love and protest captivated hearts and minds, and it was a start of Meg’s journey as an imagination activist.

Currently Meg works with various organisations, academics and individuals to help raise awareness of the problem of river pollution and the urgent need to protect our bodies of water. Her story was told in the feature documentary "Rave On For The Avon", which celebrated her unique blend of art, activism, and humour.

Following the film’s release, Meg toured the country as a Q&A panellist, inspiring audiences with her passion, wit, and unwavering commitment to environmental action. She recently developed a puppet character named Avona to engage communities, children, and schools in conversations about water pollution and sustainability. Her creativity has made complex environmental issues accessible, emotional, and hopeful, with coverage by BBC, ITV This Morning, Politics Joe and NPR, to name a few. She recently became the ambassador for Extinction Rebellion’s World Water Wedding Day campaign.

Meg has published a river-themed poetry book and hosted a series of sold-out poetry evenings, weaving together art, performance, and environmental consciousness.
