About Green Open Homes 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year’s Green Open Homes Week was a great success and we are repeating the event this year, throughout the whole of October, in conjunction with the Environment Centre who will be focussing on Home Energy. Some of our householders will be participating in the Community Talks<\/strong> taking place during the month. These will take place at various locations across the city. Click here<\/a> for dates and venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the event is to help visitors find out more about how to green your home or lifestyle or reduce your monthly bills. Homes open last year, and we hope will open again this year, showcased a range of energy-saving, water-saving and other eco-friendly features and tips, offering the opportunities to hear first hand from ordinary people who\u2019ve already made changes and can tell you what works and what doesn\u2019t, from major purchases like solar panels to simple money-saving hacks, and ways to green your garden and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to open your home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We welcome properties of all types, from flats to detached houses, from rental to ownership, because there are things you can do whatever your situation. If you only want to open your garden, that’s fine too. If you’re interested in getting involved please get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
get in touch to list your home<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can see our advice for householders here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
