A Commune in the North

Call Directions Website

A Commune in the North We are building an egalitarian, equitable, eco-commune for 150-200 people in the north of England.

Hi, we're A Commune in the North, aka (pronounced 'a kitten'... hence the logo). We're currently building an egalitarian, income/wealth-sharing, ecological, regenerative, co-operative, anti-oppression, anti-state, anti-capitalist, equitable, feminist, skill-sharing, reasonably self-sufficient, resilient and politically active commune for 150-200 people somewhere in the north of England. Since the end of 2022, we have been using Bentley Urban Farm as our base of operations and the founding members now live in The Farmhouse on Jossey Lane, just a couple of streets from the farm. With our commitment to working with existing working class communities we are developing a range of businesses, tools and initiatives to create greater local resilience wherever we end up. So far we have been involved with Doncopolitan, Donny Skate Co-op and Bentley Urban Farm. We don't know yet if Doncaster is going to be our forever home, but we've already fallen in love with the place and intend to do whatever we can to support Doncaster and Donny folk in any whay we can while we're here. If you want to help build a better, raver, brighter, greener, fairer world for all, then head over to our website where you can find out about getting involved...

Our Wren has an article in the latest edition of Permaculture magazine

This time around he talks about permaculture and culture, and how we need to deepen our commitment to the land by revisiting and, where necessary, reinventing customs and rituals which allow us to reconnect with the land, with nature, with our innate creativity and with each other.

There are also some great pics of the BUMS (Bentley Urban Morris Side) in action. We created BUMS during our Appreciation Nights on a Friday evening down at Bentley Urban Farm to help us deepen our own cultural connection to land and history.
