Explore sustainability in action at CAT’s free Summer Open Day

​One of the interactive displays at CAT.

The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) near Machynlleth is looking forward to welcoming visitors of all ages to a journey of discovery, inspiration and hands-on fun at its free Summer Open Day on Saturday, August 2.
 
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Dyfi Biosphere, the event offers a unique opportunity to explore one of Europe’s leading eco-centres.
 
With free entry and a packed programme of interactive workshops, guided tours and talks, the open day showcases CAT’s pioneering work in sustainability, green building, renewable energy, and climate solutions.

Highlights of the day include expert-led tours of CAT’s gardens, woodlands, and sustainable buildings, hands-on activities for children and families, talks and demonstrations on climate action, green living and nature-based solutions and delicious vegetarian food from the café and local producers.
 
“This is a fantastic opportunity for people to experience CAT’s work up close,” said Eileen Kinsman, CAT’s co-chief executive. “Whether you’re passionate about the environment, curious about sustainable living, or just looking for a great day out, there’s something for everyone.”
 
The event runs from 10am to 4pm and pre-booking is available on the CAT website. Visitors are encouraged to travel sustainably where possible, with the T2 bus running from Machynlleth to right outside CAT and bike parking available on site.
