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)

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.

Talks & Lectures

Spotlight Talk: 
Natural Dyes at Compton Verney

Join our Environmental Engagement Volunteers, Ali and Judy, to hear about the development of the natural dye garden at Compton Verney.

Discover the rainbow of colours they have found from experimenting with plants from the garden and grounds. Have a go at mark making with oak gall ink and have a go at guessing what plants make what colours.
