Farleys Sculpture Garden

Designed as different themed rooms for sculpture, Farleys garden presents our permanent collection of works chosen by photographer Lee Miller and surrealist artist Roland Penrose alongside works by contemporary guest sculptors. Over the yrs, giants, goddesses, mythical creatures and Roland’s own work has populated the garden in the company of work by their artist friends.

About Farleys Sculpture Garden

Sculpture on display in the permanent collection is by F. E. McWilliam, Sylvester Mubayi, Roland Penrose, Antony Penrose and Michael Werner.

In continuation of Roland Penrose and Lee Miller’s wish to promote living artists, contemporary sculptors are also invited each year to exhibit in Farleys garden. The contemporary artists currently exhibited are: Julian Wild, Nic Acaster, Sioban Coppinger, Guy Stevens, Keith Pettit, Peter Brooke-Ball, Christine Kowal Post and Salvatore Cuschera.

As well as being a beautiful place to relax, the garden served in Roland and Lee’s day as an important source of fruit and vegetables for Lee’s table. All were utilised in gourmet and surreal meals which were presented to their guests. The flower beds and Lee’s herb garden were in Roland’s original design and remain in use today.
