About

"The most fashionable house in England"
The Guardian

Discover Charleston, the modernist home and studio of artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.

Charleston was a gathering point for some of the 20th century's most radical writers, artists, and thinkers, known collectively as the Bloomsbury group.

Explore the art, lives and creative legacies of the original inhabitants and their guests, including the writer Virginia Woolf and the art critic Roger Fry. Every inch of the house is decorated in iconic Bloomsbury designs and surrounded by the walled garden, designed as a living painting and filled with sculpture.

Today, Charlseton presents a dynamic year-round programme of exhibitions, events and festivals at Charleston in Firle.

A café with delicious seasonal food and drink, and a shop brimming with Bloomsbury-inspired gifts, homeware and art, completes the experience.
