On Sunday 9 June, the MX-5 Owner’s Club will be celebrating their anniversary year at Compton Verney!

It is set to be a spectacular showcase and busy event fuelled by MX-5 lovers celebrating the history and enduring appeal of the world’s best-selling two-seater sports car.

This anniversary goes beyond being a mere Club gathering; it is a testament to the spirit of our community, which is bonded by the joy brought by these roadsters and this milestone
year calls for a grand occasion.

Summer Holidays at Compton Verney 

The image shows a group of young children dancing and celebrating at what appears to be an outdoor music festival or concert. One child in a red sequined dress has her arms raised joyfully. Another with blonde hair wears colourful arm bands and has her arms stretched upwards passionately. The third child also has their arms raised euphorically, wearing a grey top. Their expressions and body language convey an atmosphere of carefree fun, revelry, and youthful energy against a sunny sky backdrop. A smiley face icon in the lower right corner adds a playful, upbeat touch.
