Open Eco Homes & Eco Homes Fair

Each year TTT organises an Open Eco Homes weekend. From the traditional to the unconventional, visit inspiring homes in Totnes and the surrounding area which are at different stages on the journey to reducing their energy bills and environmental impact. This is then followed a week or so afterwards by an Eco-Homes Fair featuring suppliers of eco-friendly goods and services, plus home energy installers and eco-builders.

Open Eco Homes Weekend 2016

The open homes weekend is all about providing inspiring examples of homes (and other projects) that have reduced their environmental impact and renewable energy projects that are contributing to a low carbon economy. This year's dates are October 14th - 16th.

From strawbale homes to low impact off grid dwellings, renovated historic properties, and retrofitted  homes, there will be an abundance of inspiration!
