Chedworth Roman Villa

You can walk along the suspended walkways in the modern conservation building and look down on these pieces of art which offer an insight into Britain’s Roman past.

The museum houses fascinating artefacts which have been unearthed during on-site excavations at Chedworth Roma Villa. They give an insight into the different religions which would have been worshipped here. You can also see Roman jewellery, figurines, coins and more.

During holiday periods, a giant Nine Men's Morris board is in action on the lawns along with a large puzzle of Winter, the iconic figure from Chedworth's Grand Dining Room mosaic, which is sure to test each family's teamwork skills. Giant building blocks, beanbag throwing, hopscotch and several other games are also available during the holidays to add to the fun.

A highlight of the calendar is when the Gladiators take over the Villa for Father's Day Weekend. Get ready for Gladiators shows, military displays and the chance to take on the dads in 'combat'.

Volunteers have designed a spectrum of Roman outfits that families can wear while they tour the Villa. These are available at selected times during holiday periods and can create the perfect photo moment.
