Important Information Regarding Your Visit
General
Our wonderful volunteers are giving up their Saturday to welcome you into their homes, to tell you what they have learned and what they have done about energy efficiency. We are sure everyone will approach this opportunity with the respect and politeness it deserves. Please treat any home you visit as you would wish your own home to be treated - or better!
Opening times
Most of the Green Doors are open 10 - 4, but not all. Please note several homes are only open 10 - 2 or 1 - 4 - listed next to the details on the Property Map.
Covid
Please be aware some people are still very nervous about Covid. In fact, some of our home owners who have taken part in previous years haven't felt able to open their doors this year because of the Covid pandemic. Please wear a face mask if asked, be prepared to sanitise your hands, observe social distancing, and where possible don't touch any surfaces. All properties will be well ventilated.
Building sites
A number of our homes this year are work in progress, in other words they're still building sites! Which is brilliant because you can really see the materials being used and the work involved, but it does of course mean that these homes may be dusty, dirty and potentially dangerous. So please be warned and do take care. No building works will be taking place during your visit on Saturday 30th October.
The relevant homes are:
46 Oakley Street, Belle Vue, SY3 7JY
Barn at Wheathall Barns, Ryton, SY5 7NF
53 North Street, Castlefields, SY1 2JL
Transport
As we're a green organisation targeting zero carbon, we would love it if you could get around the properties by foot or by bike! If you are driving, please car share where possible, and remember some homes have no or very limited car parking. (Castlefields has very little parking available, and 1 Park Avenue, Porthill, offers no parking at or close to the house.)
Finally, we hope that you have an interesting and thought provoking day - feel free to be inspired!
