“The activities are suitable for all ages and will be located inside, running throughout the day”.

While visiting Britain’s largest Roman residence, discover objects from 2,000 years ago and see how the palace would have looked in its heyday.

Visitors can also access the rest of the museum, take a stroll around the replanted formal garden and view the largest collection of early mosaic floors north of Rome. There is also a well-stocked shop and a cafe. Join Sussex Past or the Friends of Fishbourne Roman Palace to receive free admission to the site and all special events.
