We look forward to welcoming groups to both Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum and have made several adjustments to our sites in order to comply with new recommendations.

As well as the general adjustments, the following changes will apply to group visits.   

• At the Roman Army Museum the Education room and 3D film theatre are open with reduced capacity - 14 in the Education room and 25 in the film theatre.

• Both Museums are operating on a pre-booking system for visitors to control capacity, we will reduce available capacity for general visitors during your visit.

• Time slots for visits are non-changeable due to the booking system.

• Group leaders are responsible for ensuring that all members of their party adhere to the social distancing recommendations.
