Firle Place — Attraction in Lewes

It's an art gallery, if you like that, a beautiful country house set within The South Downs National Park, also the focus of a community which lives and works on the Firle Estate. Opening times are July to September and the events really are worthwhile visiting, the whole family can join in. This remains to be the much loved home of the present Lord Gage, the 8th Viscount, and his family.

Not forgetting, you can chart its history, there are Connoisseur Days, Group visits, a Tea Room where one can relax on the terrace. Also, Weddings, Private Functions & Hiring, Shooting and much more.

Firle Place is situated near Lewes, between Brighton & Eastbourne in East Sussex, the south coast of the UK. Firle Village is 11 miles from Brighton, 4 miles from Lewes. Glynde railway station nearly two miles away. I feel sure if you browse the website, more excitement for future visits will aid you to tailor your tours to suit specific requirements or...

Firle Place opens to the public only on certain days, and my sister and I visited during the garden show in April. We spent a good four hours there and felt it was well worth the visit. Tickets were about £10 each, with an additional cost to enter the Girls Place house.

There’s plenty of space for parking, which is free (or rather, included in the ticket price). The event offered lots to see — from beautiful garden furniture to handmade cards.

spent a couple of hours doing the guided tour in the house, this was well worth the money. Very informative guide and plenty of beautiful ornaments and furniture to admire, including a couple of Chippendales. Firle House itself isn't huge but the landscape surrounding the house is beautiful. I'm not saying the house isn't beautiful, I'm just saying that the landscape it's set in is stunning. I've been to the vintage fair 3 times, last year's one was so popular I doubt if i'll go again. It was far to busy queues were horrific and getting into the area was equally lengthy. The fair is excellent but unless the entrance and exit strategy can be improved I won't be going again. Would go to any of the other smaller events there as it is such a great venue. Would love to see antiques...
