Farleys House is not just a historic site; it is a treasure trove of creativity and inspiration, showcasing the lives and works of two remarkable artists who made significant contributions to the surrealist movement.
Our aim with the website is to attract more visitors—both new and repeat—by providing comprehensive information about what Farleys has to offer. The website features essential details about visiting the house and garden, the fascinating history of the site, profiles of the artists, and information on past, present, and future exhibitions.

Capturing the Essence of Farleys
As Creative Director Lou Eldon shares, “It has been a wonderful project to work on, immersing into the work and lives of this remarkable family, and the art they have created and curated. We have encompassed the heart of Farleys within the website, to give a real sense of their home and the ever-changing display of their art collection. It's a real treasure trove of such an exciting period of art, and I cannot believe it is just down the road from our studio in East Sussex.”
The design features a dynamic colour banner at the top of every page, heavy use of images, and thoughtfully chosen typography. These elements work together to bring a sense of Farleys' vibrancy and artistic flair into the digital realm.
By offering insightful content and engaging visuals, we hope to inspire more people to visit Farleys, learn about its history, and explore the home of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose and their contributions to the art world.
