Saturday and Sunday 11th and 12th September
Welcome! Kevin McCloud, TV presenter of Grand Designs, joins Helen and Neil, co-ordinators of the weekend, to launch leaflet and map with details of all the houses.
The weekend is an opportunity to visit over 20 Eco-Renovation Open Homes around Stroud, see renewable energy in action, discuss energy efficiency and get advice on eco-renovations.

A Preview Evening (Wednesday 8 September) will provide advice on first steps to a more sustainable home.
At the Eco-Fair and Cafe (Saturday 11 September) there will be a number of eco-installing businesses on show – plus a café serving delicious food and drinks!
Guided walks, minibus tours and cycle rides (Saturday and Sunday) will visit a range of Open Homes during the weekend.
Find answers to some of these questions:
- How does solar thermal work?
- Is a photovoltaic system the answer?
- How much money can I save?
- Why install rainwater harvesting?
- What are feed-in tariffs?
- Would a wood pellet boiler be worth it?
