2026 Lilac Learning Series: #1 Community

Please join us for the first of this year's three Lilac tours & workshop sessions. This one will have a focus on Community and an introduction to how we work.

Please read this plan of the day carefully before choosing your ticket.

The learning activities will begin at 1.30pm, and will include a tour - giving you the chance to look around & get an overview of the project, and an in-depth workshop - looking at how we build a community inside co-housing and with the wider world, and how LILAC works. There will also be tea breaks to give an opportunity for informal Q&A, meeting some LILAC residents and networking.

Please note that there are no creche facilities for this event. If you are thinking of coming with young children and unsure about whether it would be suitable, PLEASE get in touch with us to discuss.

The tickets above enable you to opt into different elements of the day - so please read this programme carefully before choosing your ticket:
