Farleys House and Gallery

About

A warm welcome awaits you at Farleys House in the spirit of its former Surrealist occupants, the photographer Lee Miller and artist Roland Penrose. 
Tucked away in the Sussex countryside Farleys House 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 thirty five 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, Paul Éluard and Joan Miró. The work of these and numerous others are exhibited in the house alongside those of Penrose and Miller giving the visitor a fascinating look into the world of the Surrealists. Today the collection is managed by the Penrose family as a privately run archive and museum.  

The House, Galleries and Sculpture Garden are open to visitors on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays 10am – 4.30pm  from April - October. We advise advance online booking for all visits to Farleys.
