The museum has an extensive programme of events and activities for visitors of all ages. 2011 sees the first excavation on the Roman site since 1966 when Newcastle University leads and community excavation at the findspot of the 17 altars discovered in 1870 by Humphrey Senhouse followed by our annual Roman Festival (16th July - 29th August).
