Christmas Gift Market at Compton Verney

Friday 9 & Saturday 10 December, 10.30am - 8pm

Sunday 11 December, 10.30am - 4pm

We are thrilled to have been asked to curate the Christmas Gift Market at the award-winning Warwickshire art gallery Compton Verney, home to the largest collection of folk art in the UK.

The centrepiece of Compton Verney’s Christmas celebrations, the fair will see around 20 invitation-only exhibitors offering a mix of high-quality crafts and artisan-made goods in a festive marquee.

In what is now a keenly-anticipated tradition, artists from Warwickshire have been invited to help transform Compton Verney’s spectacular windows, each with its own festive design relating to the ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’. Large wooden reindeer in the ‘Capability’ Brown landscape will form a light-hearted treasure hunt, while artist Morag Myerscough’s fascinating and very bright installation, The Village, will illuminate the Old Town Meadow. Elsewhere there will be music and Christmas carols to enjoy, a Santa’s grotto for children and Yuletide-themed afternoon teas.

Tickets cost £10 including access to the grounds, permanent exhibition, gift shop and restaurant. Members and children go free.
