A Climate-Smart Living Stall

A Climate-Smart Living Stall is running at The Kitchen in Storyhouse on Wednesday 11 November, from 10am to 2pm. It's a drop-in, so you can just pop in whenever you're around Chester that morning and stay as long or as short as you like.

The stall is run by the Cheshire West and Chester Climate Team, and it's built around practical, everyday ways to cut bills and make your home more energy efficient. There are draught-proofing demonstrations to show you exactly where heat escapes and how to stop it, window insulation tips, and a look at smart water-saving gadgets. They'll also be talking through LED lighting and simple energy-saving hacks that don't cost much to put in place. If you're after more than just quick tips, they've got advice on the Warm Homes Grant, Green Doctor, and the North West Net Zero hub, so you can find out about the bigger schemes available for home improvements.

The stall is part of Storyhouse Futures, the theatre's festival running from 6 to 11 November, a week of events, shows, films and activities dedicated to sustainability and a more sustainable way of living. It's one of the final things on the programme, as the festival wraps up on the same day the stall is running. The whole week is part of the venue's ongoing commitment to a greener future, which they've been working on with sustainability-focused sessions in schools and support for vintage and repair markets.

It's free to drop in, and since it's open from 10am to 2pm, you can swing by on your way into town or during a lunch break. The stall is in The Kitchen at Storyhouse, Chester, on Wednesday 11 November.
