The Bath Green Homes autumn programme of events kicks off this Sunday (14th September) with the Bath Home Improvement Fair, supported by the Council.
Whether you are doing a DIY project, looking for professional help, or just want to get some ideas on how to make your home warm and beautiful, there is a lot to discover at the Bath Home Improvement Fair.
Cllr Paul Crossley (Lib-Dem, Southdown), Leader of Council, said: “The Fair is a great opportunity to find out what you can do in your own home.
“There will be plenty of local experts on hand to answer your questions, and you can even book a free consultation with an architect or a Bath & North East Somerset Council Listed Buildings Officer.”
The Fair brings together local trades, designers, installers, architects and organisations to create a vibrant market place.
The “Ask the Expert” area offers free, bookable consultations with an architect or a Council Listed Buildings Officer by visiting www.asktheexpertbhif.eventbrite.com or by calling 01225 477528.
There will also be an engaging programme of talks and free refreshments available throughout the day, including:
