About

 

Farnham is a town full of character, creativity and community, where history meets independent spirit and new ideas thrive.

It’s easy to see why ‘The Times’ named it one of the best places to live in the UK.

From Roman roads to artists’ studios

Farnham’s heritage spans thousands of years, from Roman routes to a proud craft tradition.

Georgian elegance, Victorian character and a creative spirit still thrive today, from Farnham Maltings to the renowned Farnham Pottery.

Home to the makers of tomorrow

Creativity isn’t just encouraged here – it’s embedded in the town’s DNA. What began in 1866 as the Farnham School of Art is now the University for the Creative Arts.

Students study everything from architecture and animation to immersive technology and business, feeding new energy into the town every year.
