TOURS
Our guides bring the story of Charleston and its inhabitants to life.
The Charleston tour: an excellent introduction to Charleston, this tour tells the story of Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and their family and friends from their arrival at the house in 1916 to the creation of the Charleston Trust in the 1980s. 60 minutes.
Thursdays (and Friday's in July and August)
Bloomsbury in Sussex: Similar to the Charleston tour, this tour highlights the links between Charleston and other Bloomsbury sites in Sussex. Perfect if your group also plans to visit Monk's House and Berwick Church. 60 minutes.
Wednesdays and Saturdays (to coincide with the opening of Monks House)
Friday Tour: From Omega: the Bloomsbury interior: This new tour looks in detail at Bloomsbury decoration through Charleston's unique interiors.
It explores how pieces are made and the special effects of different materials - from pelmets to painted furniture. Cupboard doors and chests of drawers are opened to reveal glimpses of textiles and ceramics not normally on public display. 90 minutes.
Fridays (except in July and August)
