Bus tour: Community housing insight at Lancaster Co-housing

Show large map

This tour is perfect anyone who’s considering community-led housing in their area – from community groups to councillors and council staff. 
Lancaster Co-housing is a great example of what can be achieved when people come together as a group to build homes that meet their community’s needs. 
You’ll learn about the experience of creating and living in cohousing, the homes for sale, some technical details about the ultra-low-energy Passivhaus homes, the communal facilities and the renewable technologies.
Like any good bus tour, there’ll be refreshments and the chance to chat with residents in the Co-Housing Common House.
We leave Penrith at 11.45am and arrive back at 4pm. 
This tour is offered free of charge thanks to support from the Cumbria & Lancaster Community-Led Housing Hub.

 

Things to know before you book:

Accessibility: Please note this visit is by minibus, therefore visitors will need to be able to independently board the bus. There will then be short distances of walking around the Lancaster Co-Housing complex, however there are no accessibility restrictions at the site.
