York Open Eco Homes 2026

Individual home listings will go live and get added to this page in early September. If you register interest via this page, you will be notified when this happens.

Visit local homes that are better for people and the planet: more comfortable, with lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions. You will see a great variety of energy saving measures, from draught-proofing and insulation to heat pumps and solar panels. Learn from the hosts’ experiences, ask questions and perhaps find inspiration for your own home. This year's event is part of the Home Upgrade Champions partnership project.

Free entry, children must be accompanied

This event is part of York Environment Festival running from Sat 3rd October - Sunday 1st November - do check it out for other great events.

The Home Upgrade Champions project is a partnership between York Community Energy, University of York, Stockholm Environment Institute and Abundance Investment; supported by David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire and part-funded by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
