SEE WINDPOWER IN ACTION

Visit our FREE Avonmouth Windfarm open day, Bristol on Saturday 9th September 2017

Discover first-hand how the Thrive turbines work to transform wind into clean electricity to power our homes and businesses. Our FREE event is for all the family with fun, educational activities for children, based on science and energy.

ExplorerDome will be on site with lively, interactive shows about climate change, renewables and the Avonmouth turbines – all presented inside a portable, inflatable planetarium dome. Come and talk to the Thrive team and discover more about renewable energy, ecology and energy efficiency. Refreshments on sale and a great day out for all.

A SENSORY DELIGHT FOR ALL THE FAMILY

There will be plenty to Touch, See and Listen to on the day:

• Watch one of our regular ExplorerDome shows throughout the day to experience an interactive light show in a mobile planetarium and discover more about climate change, energy and the Avonmouth turbines – science has never been so much fun!
• Step up to a turbine and pop your head inside the door to see what’s inside. Take your photo next to one of the turbines and tweet it to #thriveopenday
• Try out the Energy Bike Challenge to see how much power you can generate!
• Take a nature safari and treat yourself to a free pocket Thrive kite to fly on the day (subject to availability...)
• Talk to our team of ecologists on site and learn about our bird and bat studies – we have barn owls nesting at Avonmouth!
• Make a paper windmill and see how it spins compared to a real turbine – take a video and tag it with #ThriveOpenDay
• Family friendly face painting – in keeping with the day’s theme - butterflies, birds, rainbows & even a wind turbine!
• Buy refreshments including yummy home-made cake.
• Watch out for the chalked-out areas on the ground showing the scale of a wind turbine blade

MORE ABOUT OUR OPEN DAY 2017

DISCOVER THE EXPLORERDOME!

An interactive, mobile planetarium for all the family. Delve inside the pop-up planetarium science show to:

• Learn more about climate change and renewable energy
• Discover how wind power generates and supplies electricity to homes
• Understand the role this site plays in cleaning up the UK’s energy system

WIND, WILDLIFE & HABITATS

• You may be surprised to discover that there is an abundance of wildlife and natural habitat all around the turbines. Once built, the ground is left undisturbed and creates a wonderful array of wild flowers and natural habitat for small mammals, birds, bats, insects and more. Come meet some of our ecologists who will tell you more.
