  • The Sandridge Hoard – a collection of roman gold coins found locally in 2012 by a local metal detectorist
  • A video about the excavations
  • Some of the finest Roman mosaics and wall plasters outside the Mediterranean
  • A gift shop in partnership with The British Museum with a wide range of products from pocket-money items to books, jewellery and decorative pieces.

Families at Verulamium – Check out the family activities and events on our What’s On pages. There is also have a selection of free activity sheets for children of all ages and dressing up clothes available in the museum on weekends and school holidays.
