Important message for this weekend: All visitors must prebook

The Gift Fair is taking place this weekend from Fri 5 – Sun 7 Dec.

  • To manage capacity, all visitors, including members and those who are not coming to the fair itself, are required to prebook

  • If you would like to visit The Gift Fair (visitors and members) tickets can be booked here, including gallery upgrades to see the exhibitions and grounds as well as the fair (members do not need to purchase upgrade)

  • If you are just wishing to visit the grounds and exhibitions please buy general admission tickets

Whilst the fair is on, our ground floor galleries, which includes our Naples, Northern European, Portraits and Miniatures, and The Women’s Library, as well as the Modern Masterpieces display, will be open for the fair only.
The Shelter of Stories, Commodities, Chinese and Folk Art collections, and the parkland are still available to visit.

We recommend car sharing where possible to help with the capacity of the car park.

The image shows a large crowd of people gathered in front of an impressive historic building with a grand, symmetrical facade. The building appears to be a stately manor surrounded by well-manicured gardens and trees. In the foreground, a long queue of visitors is waiting to enter, with some people browsing food trucks or vendors. The scene depicts a popular tourist attraction or event taking place on the grounds of this grand estate on a sunny day.

Filming
& Photography

Would you like to film at Compton Verney?

 

We welcome requests for pre-booked filming, including television dramas, documentaries, interviews and photographic shoots. We can accommodate film productions of various sizes and you can book private rooms for green rooms and production offices, parking and catering.

Based in Warwickshire, we are centrally located in the UK, close to Birmingham and Oxford, with nearby train stations in Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Banbury.

Whilst we do accommodate filming, we are primarily a visitor attraction and therefore filming should ideally be conducted outside of our opening hours, but we are happy to discuss your requirements on a case by case basis.

No filming or photography will be allowed on site without prior consent. We reserve the right to grant or deny permission for filming and to determine the terms under which filming will be permitted.

Photography and videography is permitted for personal use.

The image shows the interior of an ornate, historical chapel with grand architectural details. The room has tall arched windows that allow natural light to stream in, illuminating the white panelled walls adorned with intricate carvings and coats of arms. The marble floor is lined with rows of simple white chairs, creating a makeshift assembly space in the centre of the room. A raised platform at the far end holds a decorative structure, likely an altar or shrine. The contrast between the room's stately design and the basic seating arrangement suggests this may be a venue used for lectures, meetings or ceremonies within the historic edifice.

The image shows a scenic stone bridge spanning a lake in a picturesque park-like setting. The arched bridge is ornately designed with decorative balustrades and statues adorning it. On the bridge, there are several people walking across it. The surrounding landscape is grassy with scattered trees dotting the rolling hills in the background. A red telephone booth stands near the bridge, providing a contrasting pop of colour against the natural scenery.

The image shows a large arched stained glass window in an ornate interior setting. The window features an intricate design of vibrant colours including red, yellow, blue, and green arranged in geometric and floral patterns. The stained glass casts a warm, kaleidoscopic glow through the arched opening. The surrounding walls and ceiling exhibit elaborate moldings and decorative plasterwork, indicative of a historic ecclesiastical or governmental building with rich architectural details. The stained glass window serves as a striking focal point, radiating a jewel-toned ambiance into the lavishly adorned interior space.
The image shows an elegant library in historic or traditional style home. The room features sage green walls, ornate wooden cabinets with glass panes, a large wooden dining table surrounded by carved chairs, and a grand fireplace with an intricate mantelpiece. Large windows allow natural light to fill the space, and decor includes a Canaletto landscape painting in an ornate frame. The furnishings and architectural details showcase a refined, classic aesthetic reminiscent of an era past. The combination of formal dining furniture and cozy seating areas suggest this refined room serves as a multi-purpose living and entertaining space within the historical residence.
