Self-Guided Visits

Explore Compton Verney independently with a group or on your own with our self-guided visits that can be tailored to Key Stage 1 all the way up to Further Education. Bursting with inspiration from a diverse range of modern and historic artists and a refreshing programme of changing exhibitions throughout the year, there’s plenty to see and do that will fill your sketchbook and inspire your own creativity.

On a self-guided visit you can:

  • Use our learning spaces to deliver creative workshops that you can’t do in the classroom.

  • Log onto our free wi-fi

  • Use the Bloomberg Connects app for more ways to discover Compton Verney before you visit and once you arrive

  • Enjoy a picnic in the grounds or book an inside space for pack lunches

  • Chat to the front of house team about the exhibitions, artworks and any queries you might have during your visit

  • Use our resources to support and plan your day

Capacity varies, depending on your requirements. Get in touch with us to see how we can support your self-led visit. All groups must book advance with the learning team.
