The UK Communities Conference is an annual weekend gathering which explores and celebrates intentional community in Britain. We promote collaboration between communities and seek to build a stronger communities movement. The conference brings together people who already live in intentional community alongside those who are curious or are planning to set up or join communities, as well as people with a research interest in communities.
This is an event for anyone interested in a more co-operative and sustainable way of life. Whether you’re just getting curious about living communally or have done so for years, join us at our next event, or have a look at our archive of recorded sessions.
11 - 13 July, Canon From Court, Herefordshire
This summer we will be meeting at Canon Frome Court in Herefordshire for a catered camping weekend with workshops, discussions and celebration. This well-established community is set within 40 acres of farm land and based on principles of organic food-production and self-sufficiency.
Our theme this year is Communities in a Changing World. We see intentional communities as spaces that allow us to imagine and live into different worlds, based on relationship and collective wellbeing. We want to explore how we do this within community, and also what skills and experiences we are developing that we can offer to the world around us.
Families are welcome, and we are putting together a varied programme which explores Canon Frome Court, supports people who want to establish communities, and gets to grips with how we as community members relate to the challenges of the modern world.

Beyond 2025
We are interested in new ideas and venues for the conference. If you are part of a community or are interested in helping host a future event then please get in touch. We are also wanting to explore different formats, including urban and day-long events, and events with different financial models.
We are currently having conversations with Braziers Park about returning there in July 2026 for another camping weekend event. We'll be working out the initial details of our 2026 calendar later in the year.
