Weekend guided gallery talks at Verulamium Museum, the museum of everyday life in Roman Britain, included with museum admission.
Verulamium Museum runs guided gallery tours every weekend, and there's one this Saturday, 7 November, at 2:30pm. If you've never been, it's the museum of everyday life in Roman Britain, built right on the site of one of the largest Roman cities in the country. The galleries hold some of the finest mosaics found outside the Mediterranean, so the tours give you a proper look at the things that usually just sit behind the glass.
There's more to do here than just the museum itself. Beyond the galleries, you can head out into Verulamium Park to see the Roman town remains, including the Roman Hypocaust, the Roman Theatre, and the city walls. The park holds a Green Heritage Site Accreditation from Historic England, so it's a decent walk around the ruins as much as a visit to the museum. If you're bringing kids, there are hands-on discovery areas, free activity sheets, and dressing-up clothes on weekends and school holidays.
