Video shows children sing as they join historic climate change march to Bramber Castle

“We need to build a better future, and we need to start right now!” was the theme on Saturday as long lines of banner-waving marchers, including many children and school students, converged from two directions for a peaceful and high-spirited rally at the historic ruins of Bramber Castle. One hundred and fifty marchers started out from Upper Beeding, joining more than 300 marchers starting from Steyning to make this the largest local march in recent history.

“This is the biggest march in Bramber since the Normans arrived,” quipped Geoff Barnard, one of the organisers. “It was three times the size of the last climate march held in Steyning in September 2019, which is a real sign of how the climate message is finally getting through.”
