The Great Stour Riverfest is back with a bang, offering a plethora of activities to enjoy and celebrate the ecological, historical, and cultural significance of the river. Running from Saturday 14 to Sunday 22 September, this festival is a must-visit for all nature lovers. In other news, veteran Fleet Street 'great,' Trevor Kavanagh, bids adieu at 81, making headlines as he decides to step down from his column. On a different note, William Kentridge's operatic production, 'The Great Yes, The Great No,' receives mixed reviews for its exquisite choral music but overly polemical nature. Meanwhile, a young boy shines in the spotlight of a Great Ormond Street Hospital campaign, emphasizing the importance of supporting children in their fight against serious illnesses.
