The Garden Gallery at the Museum of Farnham

The Garden Gallery and Education Room at the Museum of Farnham is available to hire for exhibitions, talks, lectures and other special events. The Gallery and Education Room have a moveable acoustic partition between them. This means you can hire either one of the smaller spaces, or both spaces without the partition therefore creating one large space.

The maximum capacity of the venue is 60 people seated, 80 people standing or 70 people seated in a theatre/lecture style.
