Celebrating CAT at 50, together

In this big birthday year for CAT, we’re busy planning two opportunities for you to join us in celebration.

Together, we’ll look back at the last five decades of inspiring change, and ahead to what the next chapter holds.

We hope you can join us!

CAT at 50 – Summer Celebration

This free event on Saturday 19 August will be a chance for all friends of CAT, old and new, young and old, to explore CAT’s history, current work and future plans.

If you’re new to CAT, we’ll give you an introduction to our work and why action on the climate and biodiversity crises is so important. And if you’re already familiar with what we do, you’ll have the opportunity to dig deeper into topics such as renewable energy, green building and sustainable food production.

We’ll keep the kids entertained all day with fun activities and adventure trails, and everyone can enjoy delicious vegetarian and vegan food from the CAT café.

Booking is not essential, but if you’re travelling to CAT, we advise booking your free ticket in advance to avoid missing out.

CAT Conference – 50th anniversary edition

CAT members’ conferences have always been a special opportunity to bring our members together. Over the years, we’ve recognised the vital work our members’ support has made possible, shared new knowledge and ideas, and made fruitful connections.

It’s been three years since our last conference, so we’re particularly excited to invite you back on site once again as we mark our 50th year.

Taking place from 10 to 12 November, this anniversary edition of the conference will look back on our shared journey to date, our challenges and achievements, and the opportunities ahead. You’ll be able to swap CAT stories with others and give us your views on what comes next.

Framed around the theme of exploring the future we want to create, through talks and workshops we’ll explore the barriers and solutions to a more sustainable world – not just technical but social, economic and political.

You’ll have an exclusive insight into our plans for CAT, and how together we can leave a legacy of change for future generations.

All of this will take place at CAT, immersed in nature and our beautiful surroundings, with guests staying in our low-impact accommodation.

We hope you’ll be inspired to join us and share your unique story, experiences and expertise.

Save the date: 10 to 12 November.
Tickets start at £200, depending on circumstances.

If you’re not yet a member and would like to take part in this event, you can join CAT online or call us on 01654 705988 to join by phone.
