Green Buildings in Norfolk - Open Days
Every September, CPRE Norfolk hosts a unique programme of guided tours at eco-homes, low-impact dwellings and energy-efficient developments in Norfolk. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn firsthand about how renewable energy and sustainable building design works in practice by meeting the owners, architects and builders responsible for some of the most groundbreaking properties in Norfolk. Whatever your interest, there is much to inspire, discover and learn.
Bookings
Tours at the properties are at set times and must be booked in advance through an online booking website or through the Energy Saving Trust Advice Centre. Bookings are taken over a six week period in August and September. Tours cost £3 per person or £5 for a couple (although CPRE members go free) and everyone can book at least three tours.
Mailing List
The event is incredibly popular and many tours sell out quickly. CPRE Norfolk recommend that you put your name on the Open Days mailing list to receive information about the event before it goes to press. So, if you would like to receive the event brochure directly, by email or post at the beginning of August, then please give the CPRE Norfolk office your contact details.
Support
The 'Green Buildings in Norfolk - Open Days' event is currently supported by the Energy Saving Trust, Awards For All, RG Carter Construction Ltd, the Lesley Mary Carter Charitable Trust and the John Jarrold Trust. CPRE Norfolk is grateful for their support, as well as to the homeowners, architects and builders that conduct tours and open their buildings.
