WELCOME

welcome One of my favourite stories about the Maltings surrounds an evening when, as often is the case, a number of events were happening in different parts of the building at the same time. These included a Mozart Ensemble, or some such, who were horrified to discover that Gimmick, Gimmick, Gimmick, who sing Abba songs, were playing in the Great Hall whilst they were in the Barley Room. One of the ensemble players spoke to the Front of House manager with complete disdain about being in the building at the same time as a ‘crummy tribute act’ to which the front of house manager replied – and they will stand in my affection for ever for this – ‘but surely, the Mozart Ensemble are also a tribute act, only your composer has been dead for longer’. As it happens both events took place for different audiences without incident, but I hold dear the thought that we should be careful about the assumptions and prejudices we make in deciding who these buildings are for and how people celebrate and describe who they are. I hope we behave less like missionaries taking people on the road to enlightenment and more as a space for everyone to enter on their own terms, comfortably. And that people tell us, if we aren’t doing that. Gavin Stride Director

At the museum this autumn you will find interactive and informative displays dedicated to Farnhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, from its prehistoric roots all the way through to the modern day. Explore our permanent exhibition dedicated to the history of craft in Farnham, or learn more about the history of travel in our gallery called On the Road. Built by a wealthy hop-grower in 1718, this Grade 1 listed building is well worth a visit for those who appreciate and admire historic buildings. The Museum of Farnham has been part of the Farnham Maltings since 2012. Together we work to provide engaging, enjoyable and imaginative events and exhibitions to reach as many people as possible.

MUSEUM OF FARNHAM

museum of farnham · exhibitions In the autumn, the third and final chapter of the museum’s new exhibition A Brief History of Farnham opens. It completes the redevelopment of the ground floor galleries, which offer a range of displays, rich with objects and information that anyone can enjoy. Chapter 1 – The Ground Beneath our Feet opened in June 2019 and allows you to explore the prehistory of the local area, right the way through to the Stuart period in Britain, using the museum’s archaeological collection to animate these stories. The exhibition contains interpretation panels just for children, as well as further information sheets for those with specialist interests. Chapter 2 – A Georgian at 38 West St. opened in August 2019 and tells you the story of Georgian Farnham. In this Georgian dining room listen to the conversation of guests, admire the paintings on the wall, encounter key characters of the era and get a sense of what 38 West St was like when it was first built by a wealthy hopster. Chapter 3 – God Save the Queens opens on 08 October 2019. The final chapter begins during Queen Victoria’s reign of the United Kingdom and brings the visitor right through to the modern day under Queen Elizabeth II. These object rich displays will feature less text and invite the visitor to explore the eras through day-to-day objects, asking them how they relate to their lives now or if they are even noticeable to them! Enjoy interactive displays and audio points, with accounts from local people about what it was like to live in Farnham during certain periods.

Farnham Maltings works with south-east-based artists and companies to help make the best work possible. In support of craft and fine artists we manage a range of studio spaces and offer training and networking opportunities. For theatre companies we provide one-to-one advice sessions, residency and R&D space, tour booking and financial management. Visit our theatre microsite: theatre.farnhammaltings.com Producing and commissioning

International

We work with a number of companies and individual artists in the production of their work, sometimes as a collaboration or in co-production.

We run caravan – a programme of work designed to encourage England-based theatre makers to think and work internationally. caravan encompasses a biennial showcase in partnership with Brighton Festival, on-going and one-off projects with international partners and professional development opportunities for artists.

Touring We tour our own work and that of our associate companies, support a network of rural venues across Surrey and are continuing to build relationships with small scale theatres and art centres. We deliver house – a programme designed to meet the ambitions of venues to increase audiences and improve the range, quality and scale of theatre being presented across the south-east of England. housetheatre.org.uk

Happy. Natural. Resilient. We believe learning should go beyond the walls of a classroom or the questions on an exam. We believe children need time and space to learn - to find their strengths and their weaknesses - to see the world as full of opportunities, not obstacles. If you too want your child to thrive in a natural environment, come and see what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about. www.frensham.org
