Visiting the houses
The event is free and all are welcome. Visits to these houses can happen thanks to the kindness and generosity of the householders. Please be respectful at all times and observe some basic rules:
• Opening days vary and some can only be visited as part of a pre-booked guided tour. The see bottom of each page for opening times.
• If a house requires pre-booking then please click on the Book Tour link in the page of the house you wish to visit and reserve your place.
• Pre-book tours last around an hour and are led by either the householder or a professional associated with the project. They are based around the eco features listed in this brochure.
• Times for open house sessions are between 10am-1pm in the morning and 2pm-5pm in the afternoon unless otherwise specified. Please do not visit between 1-2pm.
• Please be aware that at some of the houses you may be asked to remove your shoes.
• Please note that some of the houses featured are currently having building work done on them and so take care when visiting.
• Children must be supervised by an adult.
• Sorry, no dogs (please ask householder for permission to admit guide dogs).
• We encourage everyone to travel to each house by public transport or bicycle. Details of buses and the nearest train station are listed with each Eco Open House.
