A conference celebrating sustainable building materials is set to take place in Norfolk.

The Future is Earth event - which is marking its 30th anniversary - will be held at the Gamekeeper in Old Buckenham on November 28.

It will explore the use of sustainable, recyclable materials, which have a minimal environmental impact, in the face of rapid climate change.

The construction industry is increasingly shifting towards sustainable practices, and the conference aims to highlight the importance of historic earth-builds in East Anglia, and the future of earthen architecture.
