Fabulous place to visit. The biggest Roman Palace ever found in Britain. Really well laid out for all ages and no problems for the disabled. The mosaics are amazing and the information was clear and easy to follow. The video room was ideal for learning the history of the discovery. Superb.
Stunning mosaics that come in large quantities; really worth a visit if you are interested in Roman architecture and art. The museum display is somewhat less satisfying: too technical. Illustrations look as if coming from published articles. Better specimen would be the Bloomberg findings and Corbridge Museum. Nevertheless there are many activities for children in the hands on zone. The Roman garden is also quite interesting.
Fascinating place. Great see the remains being cared for so well whilst also allowing them to be visited. Be sure to get in on one of the guided tours, so much easier to understand what you are looking at. Plenty of car parking and cafe on site.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
Absolutely fantastic, the kids loved it. We loved it. Incredibly preserved. And the little secondhand bookshop was a nice bonus and really hard not to be the best bit haha.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
A great day with the romans for history lovers. The Palace itself is worth a visit even without the romans. You can get 2x1 or 50% with the BBC Gardeners World Card or if you’re a member of English Heritage.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Wonderful Roman Palace well worth the visit. Thank goodness this place was saved for future generations to see. The only negative was the café sadly did not feel welcomed.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNot sure
Anyone interested in history, especially the Roman history of Britain has to have Fishbourne on their bucket list. Even if you don't like history you still need to visit and be blown away. It is simply awe inspiring. The mosaics for Britain are unparalleled. The scale of the site awe inspiring. As someone who loves history and archaeology it has to be towards the top of my list. The information boards around the site, bring the site to life, but well worth seeing the 15 minute introductory video first and watching the other videos available. The museum tells the story of the site and the opportunity to visit the finds centre shows the scale of material found at the site. Really enjoyed a talk from the curator on animal bones in an archaeological setting which might have been a bit academic but surprisingly engaging to the more scholarly as well as the young children who had been dragged along by their parents. A note of thanks to the staff member who took time out to discuss the site at length and who for me made it even more interesting.
Remarkably well preserved Roman palace in the middle of suburbia next to the main road. Spend a long time wandering around and imagining how life was almost 2,000 years ago. Some remarkably well preserved mosaics…
We went today mainly to see the live gladiator battle, which was amazing! We had a good time watching and getting involved with the audience participation. The actually exhibit was very informative. There is lots of reading involved but also lots of little practical activities for kids. The cafe is pretty basic, but very cheap so all's good. Overall, a fantastic few hours out.
Genuinely one of the best roman sites I've been to in the UK. Interesting museum and information section. Amazing mosaic floors beautiful outdoor garden section and an interesting video explaining what it all used to be like. Well worth a visit. £11 per adult at time of visit
