Tucked away in the Sussex countryside Farleys conjures up an extraordinary atmosphere that testifies to its position as a meeting place for some of the key personalities in twentieth-century art. Lee Miller and Roland Penrose came to live at Farleys in 1949 and for the 35 years that followed they built up a collection of contemporary art treasures, many of which were created by their friends and visitors including Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington and Joan Miro. The work of these and numerous others are exhibited in the house alongside those of Penrose and Miller providing visitors a fascinating look into the world of the Surrealists.
Every Thursday, Friday & Sunday between April and October, the house, sculpture garden and galleries are open 10 am - 4.30 pm. 50-minute guided tours of the house run throughout the day Tickets are available for advance booking. See the website for further details.
