Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park

Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park is located just nine miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and is a great place for families to go whatever the weather. It is a place where you can relax and also enjoy a fun-packed family day out filled with activities to capture the imaginations of visitors, both young and old.

This award-winning art gallery in Warwickshire is housed in a beautiful Georgian Mansion surrounded by 120 acres of walks and nature trails. Families will discover a host of activities, both indoor and outdoor, plus special events to enjoy all year round.

Explore the galleries with an ‘art explorer’ backpack or take part in a range of craft activities during the school holidays. There are temporary exhibitions in addition to wonderful permanent collections. Enjoy one of the top Chinese art collections in Europe, see portraits of Tudor Royals, British folk art and more.

Stroll through the historic ‘Capability’ Brown landscape and let little ones loose in the woodland adventure playground. Tucked away in the Christmas tree plantation, this exciting facility is suitable for all ages and includes a zip wire. The explorer nature trail and orienteering courses offer an exciting way for families to discover the park. Three orienteering routes are available, including one for beginners.

There’s free parking and a yummy café offering tempting refreshments, from hot seasonal dishes to quick bites.
