Road closures in Kineton mean there is no through route to Compton Verney from that direction. Please approach us via the Fosse Way.

Heritage Open Days: Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September. Advance booking is now sold out and we anticipate being very busy on both days. You’re still welcome to turn up on the day, but parking is limited and entry cannot be guaranteed if the car park is full. Please car share or visit later in the day where possible.
