Canterbury Roman Museum

Family Friendly

Museum of Roman Canterbury on Butchery Lane, with a mosaic pavement still in its original place, a recreated marketplace and hands-on activities.

About Canterbury Roman Museum

An underground museum on Butchery Lane built around a Roman townhouse floor, with a recreated marketplace and hands-on activities such as dressing in a toga and making a mosaic. Canterbury Museums’ own pages disagree on the adult price (£9 on one page, £11 on others), so no price is given here; National Art Pass holders get free entry. Advance booking is encouraged.
