Start the new year with an exclusive look at one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects. Our first Hinkley Point C tour of 2026 takes place this February, offering a rare opportunity to see the site’s latest progress, enjoy a networking breakfast with fellow professionals, and connect directly with those helping shape the region’s energy future.

We’ll begin the morning at Greenway Farm with a hot buffet breakfast and informal networking, before transferring to the Hinkley Point C site for a guided tour and project update led by EDF’s expert team.

Whether you joined us last year or this will be your first visit, each tour brings new insights as the site continues to evolve. Additional site tours will be held later this year in June and October, so there are multiple opportunities to get involved.
