With ever increasing energy prices, now may seem a good time to consider options within your home and/or business for addressing energy efficiency … and retrofitting to improve the buildings performance, cost of heating and levels of comfort.
With this in mind, we look forward to welcoming you to Butchers’ Hall in Tavistock on Saturday Nov. 9th from 10:00 until 15:00.
Our theme is “Making your home – Cosy, Efficient and Future Ready“
This is a free, family friendly event, suitable for all ages.
