Retrofit Reimagined 2023 is a festival season running from 7th September — 11th November 2023 bringing together gatherings across the country. From practical, immersive learning from practitioners, to big picture, new public-civic settlement conversations, we invite you to join us across many communities of place and practice, with activated sites around the UK

Hosted in partnership between ACAN, Anthropocene Architecture School, BE-ST, CIVIC SQUARE, Dark Matter Labs, Home Energy Action Lab (HEAL), WeCanMake and Zero Carbon House, as a collective we are aiming to converge some of the most inspiring and impactful work on retrofit, with many different sectors, practices and ideas continuing to come together to form new combinations.

We think it is both true that we can speak about the transformation of how we live with one another and the planet at a scale currently never done before, and be immersed in the pioneers, demonstrating in small and big ways, tomorrow, today. Whether you’re thinking about the foundations of the next economy, or putting it into practice in the smallest most immediate ways in your neighbourhood, this Retrofit Reimagined 2023 festival season will have something for you to share and something for you to learn, and we’re so excited to welcome you.
