Compton Verney is a good two-hour drive from home, and today in the lashing rain I find myself hoping that it’s going to be worth it. It’s a venue that I’ve been meaning to visit for years probably but there’s never quite been enough of a pull to get me there. I’m so glad I’ve made the effort today though, it’s wonderful and I already know I’ll return.
What’s made the difference is the numerous exciting exhibitions and displays on offer this Summer. I’m lucky to grab them before they end. Most of the venues I looked into reviewing for this issue of had shows that were ending very soon into the autumn term, but given the lead times for planning school visits’ anyway I took the risk. Besides even though some of the content may have closed by the time you come to read this there’ll still be lots to see
