Exodus Collective

Exodus Collective

The Exodus Collective are largely recognised as one of the UK's leading examples of a `DIY' community (see DIY culture), providing practical and challenging `downside-up' solutions to social exclusion. Their free community dance events (see free party), social housing projects and city farm have gained recognition and high praise from all around the world.

The Exodus Collective or 'Exodus' as they are more commonly known were originally granted a tenancy at Long Meadow Farm in Luton by the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions in 1992. Since then, residents and local people have worked together to restore the building and area of land, even rebuilding it a second time after being petrol bombed.
