With Valentine’s Day round the corner, it could be time to start thinking about what you and your significant other can do to mark the occasion.

Instead of the usual chocolates or flowers, how about taking it up a notch and dazzling your beloved with a trip to see Spectacle of Light at Compton Verney - one of the region's most beautiful attractions.

Discover the night-time wonder of Compton Verney through a spectacle of light and sound from Friday 10 February to Sunday 5 March 2023.

Explore stunning light installations, walk through a colourful Kaleidoscope and be amazed by sparkling light beams across the lake. Sip delicious hot chocolate as you meander along a beautiful trail in 120 acres of parkland landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Take a moment by the Grade I listed 18th-century mansion to tuck into scrumptious street food from Digbeth Dining Club, or head inside and enjoy a range of drinks from the fully stocked bar throughout the evening.

Love, romance, and desire have long been popular subjects in art and literature, and several works in the Compton Verney art collection reflect the importance of these themes throughout the centuries such as the Ceremony at Gretna Green painting, and the carved spoon love token.

With plenty of activities to do both inside and outdoors, Compton Verney is an award-winning art gallery offering enjoyable ways for you to explore art and enjoy the Park whatever the weather.
