Hexham residents can find out how to save money on their energy bills and get started with 'green' technology at an event next week. 

Hexham Town Council will host its second Electric Dream event on October 19 to bridge the gap on understanding electric technology to encourage people to take advantage of it. 

It will bring together home energy installers as well as electric car and bike suppliers in the town centre where they'll be on hand to answer any questions. 

Those attending the event includes Tyne Valley Wind and Solar, Arnold Clark, Ride Electric, Intelligence Energy, Total Engineering Services, and more. 

The Electric Dream event will be held between 10am-3pm at Hexham Library and Hexham Abbey Car Park.
