Join us in Farleys Gallery for a discussion between photographer and farmer Joanne Coates; two local, women farmers that will appear at Joanne’s request as guest speakers, and Antony Penrose. Together, they will explore the diverse realities of the, often unseen, roles and lives of women in agriculture today. There will be a short Q&A to follow, with a chance to enjoy the exhibition, Daughters of the Soil, and meet the artist.

Our Annual Surrealist Picnic takes place each year in Farleys beautiful, spacious, sculpture garden on the Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend.

This year’s picnic takes place on Sunday 24 August 2025.
