Watts Gallery is a Victorian art gallery in Compton, near Guildford, devoted to the work of Symbolist painter George Frederic Watts and his wife Mary Watts. Set in 18 acres of woodland and gardens in the Surrey Hills, the Artists' Village includes the historic galleries of G F Watts, the De Morgan and temporary exhibitions, Limnerslease (the Wattses' home and studio), the Grade I listed Watts Cemetery Chapel, a Contemporary Gallery, shops and two cafes. All children under 16 go free, and the site is a Kids in Museums signatory with family activities, Watts Tots toddler craft sessions, school holiday workshops, the Verey Playwood woodland playground, family trails and sketching packs. The grounds and gardens, cafe, shop and chapel are free to visit, with paid admission to the gallery buildings.
Currently open Tuesday-Sunday until 31 August 2026 (seasonal). Great British Summer Savings reduced admission prices 25 June - 1 September 2026.
