What is Futures?

Launched in 2017, Futures is designed to enable groups of students, academics or researchers to come together to advance their work in one of Landmark's historic buildings.

Each year Landmark offers ten free Futures stays, which students across many disciplines have benefitted from including: astrophysicists, behavioural scientists, botanists, journalists, policy makers, geologists, historians and creative writers. 

Previous recipients have found Landmark's historic and unique surroundings the ideal setting to spark those 'lightbulb' moments and allow valuable uninterrupted time together with colleagues. Landmark provides the accommodation and those staying are responsible for travel and subsistence costs.
