Free Church Stretton open day offers home energy advice

Householders considering changes to an existing property can meet energy advisers, installers and contractors at Shropshire Climate Action’s free Open Day on Energy Efficient Buildings in Church Stretton on Saturday 5 September 2026.

The event runs from 10am to 4pm at the Methodist Church and Hall, Watling Street South, Church Stretton, SY6 7BG. Admission is free, although donations are welcome. It is intended for residents seeking information on ways to make their homes more energy efficient, reduce their carbon footprint and potentially save money.

Advice on surveys, technology and household grants

Marches Energy Advice (MEA) and Stretton Climate Care will be involved in the day, with information on home energy surveys, technologies and grants available to households.

For people at an early stage of considering improvements, the open day offers a chance to discuss questions directly with locally based advisers and people working in installation and contracting. Rather than focusing on one particular type of upgrade, the programme covers several parts of the home-energy process: understanding a property through a survey, finding out about available technologies, and asking about grant support.

That makes the event relevant both to householders who are still deciding what information they need and to those who want to speak with people involved in delivering energy-efficiency work locally. The source does not specify which technologies or grants will be discussed, so visitors with a particular project in mind may wish to ask the organiser whether it will be covered.

Visits to homes adapted for a zero-carbon future

The programme also includes visits to homes that have been adapted for a Zero Carbon future. This gives visitors an opportunity to see examples alongside the advice sessions, although the event notice does not identify the homes or explain how the visits will be arranged.

Anyone planning to attend specifically for the home visits should contact Shropshire Climate Action before travelling to check the practical arrangements. The notice also does not provide booking, transport or accessibility information.
