Cohousing: Building the Neighbourhoods We Need In The North

Date & time: 28 September 2026, 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Venue
St Thomas Centre, Ardwick Green North, Manchester, M12 6FZ

Join UK Cohousing Network, Triangle Architects and Greater Manchester Community Led Homes for an evening with cohousing pioneer Charles Durrett, exploring how cohousing can help build stronger communities and scale community-led housing across the North.

The event is part of the Northern Way programme, aimed at growing cohousing across the region. It brings together communities, practitioners, housing organisations and policymakers to explore how cohousing can help build a stronger, fairer and more connected North.

US cohousing pioneer Charles Durrett will share insights from more than 40 years of experience designing and visiting hundreds of communities worldwide. Together with speakers from across the North of England and in conversation with the audience, he will explore how cohousing and community-led housing can help create the next generation of thriving communities.

The evening is rounded off with plenty of opportunity for networking, refreshments and a chance to buy signed copies of Charle's work, in this splendid Manchester venue.

Ticket income will cover the costs of the event, with any surplus reinvested in training, support and advocacy to help grow the UK cohousing movement.
