Tickets

Our friendly local staff will be happy to welcome you and to make your visit a worthwhile experience. Family friendly pricing and special concession tickets make a super day out at our two sites on Hadrian's Wall.

We encourage all our guests to buy a Joint Site Ticket to get a discount from your visit to us.
This ticket allows you to visit both our sites which are only 15 minutes apart and provide completely different Roman experiences.

By purchasing your ticket via the Website, you receive a discount of approx. 5% compared to purchasing tickets on arrival.

The Joint site ticket is valid for a single admission to each site for 1 year from date of purchase. (You do not require to visit both sites in one day)

Don't forget, we use your entrance fee to keep the Trust digging!
