Themed heritage tour led by St Albans Tour Guides through the Roman house at Verulamium Museum, meeting at the Hypocaust.
St Albans Tour Guides are leading a themed heritage tour at Verulamium Museum on Saturday 21 November, starting at 2:30pm. It's called House in the Park, and the group meets at the Hypocaust.
Verulamium Museum is the museum of everyday life in Roman Britain, built on the site of one of the largest Roman cities in the country. It holds some of the finest mosaics to be found outside the Mediterranean, and the tour is part of the museum's 2026 programme of guided walks, run in partnership with St Albans Tour Guides. The topics rotate each weekend, so if you've been before, you'll find different things on the table: Roman food and drink, death and burial, trading in the Empire, and mosaics are among the subjects they cover.
Outside the museum, Verulamium Park—a Green Flag park—holds the remains of the Roman town, including the Roman Hypocaust, the Roman Theatre, and the city walls. It carries a Green Heritage Site Accreditation from Historic England. Inside the museum, there are hands-on discovery areas, free activity sheets, and dressing-up clothes on weekends and school holidays to open up the Roman world to younger visitors. The museum was a Tripadvisor Traveller's Choice winner in 2024.
