Liliesleaf has seamlessly integrated the authenticity of the original buildings structures with two newly constructed buildings: the Resource Centre and Liberation Centre, which marks the visitor’s journey of enlightenment from struggle, to liberation to transformation. Liberation Centre boasts the following contemporary facilities:
A state-of-the-art auditorium which shows a 15-minute introductory film
A curio shop
A coffee shop
A crèche
Permanent and temporary exhibits
The Resource Centre will sustain the tradition of intellectual discourse that Liliesleaf is renowned for. In addition to the archive collective on-site, the Resource Centre library houses 3000 books and over 500 hours of interview footage. The collection of this material, including oral recollection and interviews, began in 2003. Visitors to Liliesleaf are afforded access to all areas of the site and are issued with a “pass card” should they wish to leave and return later on in the day.
On the 7th November 2010, at the “British Guild of Travel Writers Annual Awards 2010”, The Liliesleaf Farm was presented with the
“MERRIT AWARD CERTIFICATE”thatrecognises the Liliesleaf Project as one of the BEST new tourism projects in the world.
