1 June - 29 September 2024

Opening hours: Thursday - Sunday, 12:00 - 4:00 pm (last admission 3:00 pm)

 

Little Sparta reopens to the public on 1st June 2024. Set in the Pentland Hills, near Edinburgh, Little Sparta welcomes visitors in June, July, August and September each year, respecting Finlay's intention that the garden should be experienced when the trees and plants, all integral to the artworks, are in full leaf. 

 

Finlay moved to the farm of Stonypath in 1966 and, in partnership with his wife Sue Finlay, began to create what would become an internationally acclaimed garden across seven acres of a wild and exposed moorland site. It contains over 270 artworks set into what Finlay described as ‘specific landscapes’: distinct areas within the garden, each with its own character and mood.
