We made the journey from Oxford. Our ticket seemed to suggest that we could enter between 11am and 12 noon but when we arrived a member of staff was looking out for us - so that we could join the others.

The Cranach paintings were interesting, well-documented and well-lit but some of the works that were inspired by him were truly dreadful.

The Covid influenced timed and pre booked tour of the Cranach exhibition worked extremely well. The limited group size enable more time and space with individual exhibits. The guide was friendly and informative. A lovely morning.

Had tickets for the Cranach exhibition.Only five people allowed in at a time together with one official from Compton Verney. Very enjoyable and thought provoking display spread over two rooms. One hour allocated time to see the exhibition.

Just went to the park today, with a nearly 2 year old. It was great, the park is very well maintained and has little areas to keep the young ones entertained. Lovely Sunday afternoon walk. Would recommend. And staff are very warm and welcoming.
