Described as wonderful, dazzling and enchanting, Compton Verney’s new visitor experience for 2022 promises to be truly spectacular.

 The famous Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped park and woodland of the historic Warwickshire gallery will be transformed by a series of stunning, night-time light installations, creating a magical illuminated trail under the stars.

Spectacle of Light invites you to walk through the changing Light Curve, immerse yourself in the Carpet of Colour on the main lawn and be amazed by the sparkling light beams across the lake.

The Spectacle of Light trail is set to take you on an amazing journey as you wander from the welcome centre, through the woodland, along the lake, and over the bridge to the house, and back again.

The trees will be lit up all the way, with incredible light installations to admire and photograph before reaching the magnificent, majestic house bathed in gorgeous, soft tones. Music will play at each spectacle, to further create a magical atmosphere.

There are treats in store for our other senses along the way too. Sip delicious, mulled wine or hot chocolate as you wander along, before pausing by the house to tuck into scrumptious hot food and mouth-watering treats courtesy of Digbeth Dining Club. 

To maximise visitor safety and enjoyment of the enchanting experience, a staggered entry system has been created, to create 15-minutes distance between each group of visitors on the Spectacle of Light trail. Entry begins at 5.30pm and the last trail tour commences at 7.45pm, with the park closing at 10pm.

Julie Finch, Director/CEO of Compton Verney said: “Compton Verney is the perfect, safe place to meet with family and friends in the fresh air and our new Spectacle of Light is another fantastic, and new, reason for people to come and visit. We can’t wait to welcome more people to our grounds to enjoy art and creativity in the great outdoors.”
