We are proud to announce that the unique, environmentally sustainable EPIC Centre in Lincoln has teamed up with us here at Eco Events to provide a whole range of sustainable and environmentally conscious private and corporate events. This unique building has been created using sustainable building techniques and materials (including a beautiful living sedum roof) to provide the perfect venue for everything from weddings to corporate banquets to open air concerts and more.
According to Dr Nick Cheffins, the EPIC Project’s director, this venture is about creating a centre for environmental innovation, to explore new technologies and responses to the threat of global warming: “The EPIC Centre has been created to motivate individuals, businesses and communities within and beyond Lincolnshire to recognize their ability to mitigate the global effects of humanity’s activity on the environment,” says Dr Cheffins. “Our aim is to reduce our carbon footprint by 47% compared to a similar conventional building. We are working towards achieving this by building a venue that is designed to be as carbon efficient as possible, including using locally sourced materials, minimal use of steel and concrete, installing biomass and biofuel boilers, solar water heating, wind energy and rainwater harvesting.” The EPIC centre has three interlinked exhibition halls providing over 1,800 sq metres of event space, office suites, meeting rooms, a VIP lounge and 275 acres of stunning grounds.
