Explore Family Shared Ownership Homes at Easter Open Day in Cambridge 

Families in Cambridge are invited to celebrate the season at an exclusive Easter Open Day at L&Q at Darwin Green on Saturday 21st March, 11am-3pm. Taking place at the popular development just outside the city centre, the free event will offer visitors the chance to explore a collection of spacious two- and three-bedroom Shared Ownership homes. Younger visitors will be encouraged to take part in an Easter egg hunt around the show home, with seasonal chocolate treats to be won. 

The event will be held at the three-bedroom show home, where guests can tour the properties available and speak directly with the sales team about Shared Ownership and the buying process. 

Throughout the day, L&Q’s team will be on hand to answer questions regarding eligibility, affordability and the application process, helping buyers gain a clear understanding of the steps involved in purchasing through Shared Ownership. Spaces are limited, so booking is essential.* 

Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q, comments: “L&Q at Darwin Green has proven popular with buyers seeking a well-designed home within a thoughtfully planned new neighbourhood. With a mix of apartments and houses available, there is a range of options to suit different household needs. Our Easter Open Day is an excellent opportunity to explore the homes in person, ask questions and understand how Shared Ownership can make buying in Cambridge more accessible. With an Easter egg hunt activity planned, we’re looking forward to welcoming families and prospective buyers alike.”
