Upcoming Events

The ‘Festival of Sustainable Homes’ is an exciting, family-friendly show, highlighting how we can enjoy better sustainable homes, reducing our energy bills and impact on the environment.

Produced by the team at the award-winning National Self Build & Renovation Centre (NSBRC), this two-day festival offers the latest advice – for both new builds & existing homes – avoids ‘greenwash’ and provides genuine inspiration for anyone interested in creating well-designed, healthy homes. There is a packed timetable of seminars, case study talks and live debates, alongside an unrivalled line up of experts and the NSBRC’s extraordinary educational exhibits.

From planning advice to budgeting, plot-finding and renewables to ecological surveys and water conservation, our free talks are a great way to pick up a wealth of valuable information. Over 200 exhibitors will be showcasing their solutions and technologies with experienced representatives on hand to demonstrate, answer questions and offer their professional advice.

A key decision for any self builder is choosing what materials you will build your home with. When combining the desire to produce a comfortable, energy efficient home offering high performance and utilising natural materials there are many choices available. Our workshop will help you understand your options and ensure you end up with the home that delivers against your original design brief, budget and expectations.

We will also cover the role that the self builder plays in the construction process, whether it be self project managing, package managing or using sub-contractors – addressing the relative merits and drawbacks of each route.
