"We know one-size-fits-all home improvement measures don't work for the variety of homes we have in the UK. Old buildings often have leaky gutters, draughty windows and mouldy, wet walls. When people leap ahead with modern insulation, trying to do the right thing, they often exacerbate the moisture issues in these old homes. The Portishead Energy Expo is our way of supporting the local community to learn more about their homes, improve their energy efficiency and preserve their traditional charm through workshops, activities and games." Steven Cole, CSE

Join us at Somerset Hall to discover new ways to enhance your home, save money on your energy bills and support local businesses.

This event has been funded by the South West Net Zero Hub, which is hosted by the West of England Combined Authority through the Local Energy Advice Demonstrator Programme.
