The dark and dreary evenings of January and February have been made a little bit brighter by the Spectacle of Light in Compton Verney.

The historic house and accompanying parkland has been transformed into an interactive display by light event company Squidsoup.

The company, known for its fusion of light, sound, and technology, has created a night-time trail filled with a myriad of sights and sounds.

"I’d encourage everyone to come along and immerse themselves in the event; whether you choose to visit us to celebrate Valentine’s Day, make the most of half-term or any other time and help us celebrate this landmark year with a really exciting programme of events and exhibitions.”

The event has allocated time slots, with the house and grounds shut from 5pm until the Spectacle of Light begins each evening at 5:30pm.
