We are the UK’s only permanent visitor centre designed specifically to meet the needs of self builders, renovators and home improvers. We have 3 full size exhibition houses on permanent display, as well as interactive educational zones guiding you through every stage of a homebuilding project. Explore different types of foundations, traditional and modern wall systems, the latest finishes and much more in our New Build Journey. Our full-scale Renovation House takes you through the journey of a major renovation project tackling many common issues that you will encounter when improving an existing property. The large Trade Village showcases over 250 exhibitors, offering the latest innovative products and services.

The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing. The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application. Take advantage of this free workshop and ensure you have the right team behind you for your Passivhaus home.
