The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) near Machynlleth is preparing to welcome visitors to a free Summer Open Day on Saturday, August 1.
Organised as part of local summer holiday familiy activities, the open day will include guided tours, workshops, talks and access to the CAT site – all centred around practical solutions for sustainable living.
Set in the heart of the Dyfi Biosphere, CAT is one of Europe’s leading environmental education centres. The open day is aimed at everyone from families on holiday and local people through to CAT’s extended member network.
Programme highlights include seasonal gardening activities with the CAT gardens team, getting hands-on with clay as a sustainable material, green woodworking workshops and demonstrations seeing traditional skills in action and guided tours of energy systems and green buildings.
Lunch and refreshments are available from CAT’s fully vegetarian café.
The event, which runs from 10am to 4pm, is completely free and no booking is required. Visitors are encouraged to travel sustainably where possible, with the T2 bus stopping outside CAT and bike parking available on site.
