Bringing wind power to life at Caton Moor open day
On a sunny, breezy day in September, we welcomed over 70 people to our Caton Moor wind farm in Lancashire to see the turbines up close and learn more about how they are helping tackle the climate crisis. Visitors had the chance to take a tour of the wind farm and view the eight turbines in their element – each one spanning the height of nine double decker buses!
Before heading to site, local people could meet the Thrive team and get to know the 30-year history of the project at the nearby Victoria Institute, where there were lots of family activities including face painting, crafts and more.
The day before, we visited local schools in Caton to deliver an interactive learning session all about renewable energy, before heading onto site for the children to see the wind turbines in person – bringing what they had just learnt to life.
We’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who came to our open day and all the local organisations involved in making the day a success, with special thanks to the Victoria Institute and Caton WI for their involvement. Below are just some of the brilliant moments captured from the event.
