Abstract	A new single pass national FEL test facility, CLARA, is proposed to be constructed at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. The aim of CLARA is to develop a normal conducting test accelerator able to generate longitudinally and transversely bright electron bunches and to use these bunches in the experimental production of stable, synchronized, ultra short photon pulses of coherent light from a single pass FEL with techniques directly applicable to the future generation of light source facilities. In addition the facility will be an ideal test bed for demonstrating innovative technologies such as high repetition rate normal conducting RF linacs and advanced undulator designs. This paper will describe the design of CLARA, pointing out the flexible features that will be incorporated to allow multiple novel FEL schemes to be proven.
