Compton Verney

Established in 2004, Compton Verney in Warwickshire is a former Grade I-listed 18th-century mansion transformed into a vibrant cultural destination committed to making art accessible to everyone.

Compton Verney exhibitions and art collections

Throughout the year, explore an inspiring programme of special exhibitions across the site and marvel at six world-class collections in the galleries.

Parkland and walks

Wander through 120 acres of parkland designed by prolific gardener and landscape architect Capability Brown. Experience cutting-edge contemporary art in the sculpture park, where powerful works go on display in the historic landscape. Got a four-legged friend? Dogs on leads are welcome in the parkland.

Learn about women's literary history

The Women’s Library is one of the few surviving parts of the house from the 19th century. Created in 1860 by Georgiana Verney, a champion of women’s literacy and suffrage, the library now invites a new guest curator to fill the shelves each year.

Family-friendly activities

Got kids to entertain? From an adventure playground to a dedicated indoor space for children to make, draw and play, there's lots of family-friendly activities to ensure a great day out for everyone.

Refuel at the café

Unwind at the café that serves seasonal and locally sourced meals and snacks.

As a Museum of the Year 2025 finalist, Compton Verney is offering all Art Fund members a 10% discount in the shop on presentation of their National Art Pass between 29 April and 26 June.
