At the Vindolanda Trust, we believe in history and archaeology for all. Ever since our foundation we have been working tirelessly to make our sites more accessible.

For example:

• At Roman Vindolanda we installed SureSet paths which allow wheelchair and mobility scooter users to explore the fort and village.
• Both our museums are free of architectural barriers and have ample disabled car park and services.
• Both our cafes cater for food intolerances and allergies: if you are in doubt about yours, give us a call.
• At Roman Vindolanda, we have installed listening posts with six language options, describing the remains surrounding them and putting them in context.
• We have undertaken numerous digital projects for those of you who, for any reason, cannot visit in person. For example, take a look at our digital exhibition Digging Up Memories.
• At both sites, we have gender neutral baby changing facilities, and you are welcome to breastfeed wherever you are.

Our teams at both Vindolanda and The Roman Army Museum are trained to help you with your accessibility needs, whatever they may be. We also have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion. For any questions on accessibility, please email [email protected]. To get in touch with our EDI Champion, for suggestions and feedback, please use the same email address but include within the subject the subject 'FAO EDI Champion.
