Greener Energy Fair - 18th Jan 2025


PAGE UPDATED ON A REGULAR BASIS - VISIT AGAIN SOON !


The GEF is based on the Green Living Fair format but heavily biased towards renewable energy for home owners. As well as the many trade suppliers there will be a range of interesting 'green-tables' including advice on home energy related grants.
 
There will also be 'pop-up talks' which will be about 5 minutes on energy related topics. These are intended to stimulate interest in a wide range of energy related issues and hopefully spark some ideas on managing energy generally.
 
Links to post-talk info sheets will be posted here shortly after the GEF event.
