Sunday, October 16, 2016 marks the centenary of the arrival at Charleston of Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and David ‘Bunny’ Garnett.
Their arrival as World War I conscientious objectors saw the creation of Charleston as the country home of the Bloomsbury group and a legacy of art, literature and freedom of thought that is as relative today as it has been over the last 100 years.
To celebrate this landmark at Charleston, there are several activities and programmes planned over the centenary weekend of October 15-16 and into the centenary year.
These include special access and extended House tours, theatrical performances, free art activities, lectures and a new Blog, Charleston in 100 objects.
