This 20-minute introduction will include the history of the site, its relationship to Hadrian’s Wall, the building remains and the excavations. With time to ask any questions at the end. For ideas on what you can do in a day please see our day planner.

At Roman Vindolanda, we not only offer groups access to some of the best-preserved Roman remains on Hadrian’s Wall but groups can come and see archaeology in action (Mon-Fri, April to September, weather permitting). We offer groups of 15 or more a 10% discount and a 20 minute introductory talk with a member of our Education Team (Mon-Fri). Your group will also get to see some of the finest Roman artefacts in Britain including a selection of the world famous ink on wood writing tablets.   

In the spacious indoor Roman Army Museum, groups can explore the life of a Roman soldier through many different interpretive styles including the award-winning Edge of Empire 3D film which follows the new recruit Aquila and his life on Hadrian’s Wall. Your group can book exclusive access to the classroom, where they will receive a short lesson in Latin and Roman history from a holographic teacher.  Other displays include Roman Soliders
 and the Empire, the Invasion of Britain, Hadrian and Daily Life on the Frontier.  A group of 15 or more also receive a 10% discount if you book for this museum.

If you would like to make a fabulous day out on Hadrian’s Wall, you can book both sites and receive a 20% discount off the admission. A 15 minute coach drive though fabulous Northumbrian countryside links the two site and if desired, groups can access Hadrian’s Wall at Walltown Crags, just a short walk from the Roman Army Museum.
