Visit to Charleston 8 August 2026

A Visit to Charleston 2026

Immediately after the 2026 Woolf Summer Course in Cambridge, we offer an optional trip to Charleston, home for many years to Woolf’s sister Vanessa Bell and her circle.

Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant moved to Charleston in 1916. The house became a gathering point for the early 20th century’s radical artists, writers and thinkers known as the Bloomsbury group. At Charletson, they lived out their progressive social and artistic ideals. Virginia and Leonard Woolf lived close by and visited frequently.

The price includes travel by coach from Cambridge to Charleston and back on Saturday 8 August 2026, plus entry to Charleston House and the exhibition on display.

Charleston is a remarkable house with a lovely garden. Do join us for a visit after the Woolf Summer Course. Members of the course get first priority for booking. If there is space, we will open the trip to other people.
