Now in its 13th year, our Green Open Homes season was one of the first and continues to encourage, inspire and inform our community to reduce domestic emissions (and bills) – a key contribution to Net Zero that we can all be making – and increase their comfort.
2025 is a big one …
We are particularly excited by this year’s offer, with a cross section of ten fantastic, future-proofed houses, four architect-led tours, two mid-construction builds, and a prestigious line up of eight expert talks, including Bean Beanland from the Heat Pump Federation (and formerly one half of The Happy Heat Pump podcast, with Evan Davies) and David Farmer from the University of Salford’s trailblazing Energy House Labs research facility.
THE TOURS …
Our Green Open Homes season fills three weeks in November with insider advice, expert speakers, experiential insights and guided tours of local homes that have improved or are improving their domestic energy efficiency; by both hosts and architects.
Across the weekends of 8th & 9th and 15th & 16th November, at various times detailed on the WeGotTickets booking pages, and including homes at …
N6: Bisham Gardens
N8: Clovelly Rd, Glasslyn Rd
N10: Leaside Avenue, Grosvenor Rd, Pages Hill, Woodland Rise, Halliwick Rd, Coppetts Rd
(Full addresses of the tour homes are released with each booking confirmation)
45 tours of 10 trailblazing houses, across N6, N8 and N10, through two weekends (8th & 9th and 15th & 16th November), covering a wide range of homes, solutions and installations.
5 of them new to Green Open Homes, including period retro-fits, a garden flat and mid-construction builds, with the opportunity to see the bare bones of an energy efficient build.
Architect-led tours of four stunningly designed homes, offering rare insights into the practicalities, science and creativity behind an eco-build.
The moany bit …
Please only book if you know that you can attend, or give us as much notice as possible to release spare tickets to waiting lists. Our hosts are so magnanimous in opening their homes up for tours, each of which is oversubscribed, so no-shows mean that others miss out. Thank you!
The grateful bit …
And our enormous thanks to those hosts, the architects involved and our programme of brilliant speakers, all of whom are so generously giving us their time, expertise, knowledge, weekends and homes, to help others.
THE SPEAKER MEETINGS …
