27/03/21 Latest News – we are talking with schools now about hosting groups back on site in the next few months. Get in touch if you want to register your school’s interest.
Day Visits
Overnight Stays
Roman Villa Excavation
Once you book, the site is yours for the day/s.
We offer days themed on Stone Age, Iron Age or Saxon periods, teaching children about the life and skills of the time through practical workshops and experiments. This is a fantastic opportunity to let children learn about their heritage in an active, hands-on and fun environment, as well as teaching them teamwork skills and giving them the chance to try new experiences. A typical day visit allows you to experience a range of planned and well-supervised workshops such as:
Whittling and butter-knife making
Fire lighting
Spinning and weaving
Pewter casting
Small oven cooking
ROMAN VILLA EXCAVATION
In 2018 we introduced a new day programme for KS2, which gives up to 30 primary school children the opportunity to excavate a reconstructed and buried Roman Villa, using archaeological techniques and equipment, including processing finds, interpreting evidence and building the story of what has happened on the site. Full details on the Roman Villa page of the website, click here
We accept groups of up to 30 children aged 7 years and upwards.
