A new event from the Highgate Society’s “21st Century Homes: character – comfort – low carbon” initiative.
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED about putting solar panels on your roof to generate electricity or produce hot water? Are you interested in how it can work on schools, community buildings or businesses? Have you been thinking it might be interesting to put some funds into a community solar project? Perhaps you are just interested to see how it works?
Then come to our Saturday event at St Michael’s school, Highgate – meet national and local experts, including installers, and speak with neighbours about their solar roofs!
Come and find out about
- how a solar roof could work for you
- current government incentives
- what it costs
- solar options for conservation areas
- solar PV for electricity
- solar thermal for hot water (and maybe even heating)
- solar on schools and community buildings
- what about investing in a community solar scheme?
- planning guidelines and building regulations

As part of Jacksons Lane’s LAUNCH programme to give more professional theatre opportunities to young people, it presents Extremism, part of the National Theatre’s festival of plays for young people, Connections. Extremism, by Anders Lustgarten, watches a class react when a student is taken out of the room by his teacher – and the police. A microcosm of our battle between tolerance and fear in a multi-faith society.
1941. Egypt. WWII. An escaped German officer. A two day chase across the brutal Sahara. A triumphant capture. A hero’s return.
1991. England. Jack reigns from the armchair of his rest home, a local legend. Decorated veteran of Tobruk. Former river warden, boxer, horse whisperer, boat builder, charmer, prolific father and husband to a very unhappy wife. Dementia is eroding his mind. As the Gulf War rages, the past drags him back to the scorched sands. Inspired by the writer’s grandfather.
Following its critically acclaimed debut at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, Open Sky present Scorched, using new writing, visual physical theatre, period music and an innovative set to create the workings of a mind sinking into the sands of time. “Striking theatrical invention” The Stage
