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. We anticipate being very busy on both days. Saturday advance booking is now sold out. 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.

Eggs are associated with fertility and new life, and the customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries. Seven of the eggs here are painted Easter eggs from Northumberland and are made from a paste compound. The other eggs were hand-decorated with felt-tip pens by Marx.
