Join the Dorset Group on a special visit to explore how a SPAB Member incorporated renewable energy features to improve energy performance in their listed 15th-century farmhouse.   

Hawkers Farm, Stour Provost, is owned by the Chairman of Sustainable Dorset, and the visit will give you a chance to explore the possibilities for your own property.

We will also visit Jolliffe’s House in Stour Provost, a Grade II* listed 17th-century farm house.

The visits are by kind consideration of the owners Jennifer Morisetti and Kate Saker who will lead us around.
