ARTThe art of a great day out

For a great family outing this summer, why not head to Warwickshire’s Compton Verney art gallery and park?

Enjoy playing games in the wide open spaces, walking around the lake, trying out the dipping platform to see what’s hidden in the lake’s watery depths and spotting animals from the bird hide.

In the gallery, backpack guides will take you on a journey around the permanent collections and you’ll love the world-class exhibitions. There are also fabulous arty activities during every school holiday and for under-fives during term time.

Go to comptonverney.org.uk to see what’s on.
