About
Following the success of our Spring Open Day, we’re excited to welcome you back to CAT for another day packed with inspiring activities for all ages.
Explore hands-on workshops, family-friendly tours, and interactive displays covering everything from green building and renewable energy to ecology, food growing, and sustainable living.
Throughout the day, we’ll be speaking with as many visitors as possible to gather your ideas, feedback, and perspectives – helping to shape CAT’s future, guide our redevelopment design, and inform our ongoing strategy work.
Whether you’re a local looking for a fun day out, a long-time supporter, or someone curious to learn more about sustainable solutions, we’d love to see you there.
Enjoy delicious food from CAT’s vegetarian café throughout the day.
