Don't bother to pop in on a whim as you're passing by, there's NOTHING on the gate to say it's only open during school holidays, or that tickets have to be prebooked, it just tells you to pay at the shop. If you walk in you'll be confronted and told in no uncertain terms that you can't go in. Just a simple sign at the entrance would suffice!!

Nice place to pop in for a couple of hours max and cheap at £11 on the door. Don't expect too much though as there's no cafe and the shop is basic, with souvenirs only, no food. Museum is interesting for a mooch round and there is a toilet on site. The highlight are the staff. Passionate, very knowledgeable and great with the kids. The play fight with foam swords and shields was great and our boys really enjoyed it. If you come here for a couple of hours to kill then great but don't expect more than that as there isn't loads here.

Lunt Roman Fort is a partially reconstructed timber fort with a unique circular training area for horses, a rebuilt granary, timber gateway and fort ramparts. The fort is only open during select school holidays where they run fantastic events for families. This has so far been one of our 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 during the school holidays and it was brilliant. You’d be looking at spending 2 hours or so there. You’ll first be welcomed by three guides dressed and in character as Romans. There are lots of learning opportunities, chances to try on 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗲𝘀, have a closer look at the 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀 the Roman’s would have used. You can explore the rest of the artifacts found on site within the museum and our boy had the chance to make his own clay horse too, similar to what Roman children would play with, but the activities do change regularly. You’ll get to go outside and have some games with the guides and end with a 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 against them in the ‘Gyrus’ cavalry training ring, which everyone loved. The guides that work there were extremely knowledgeable, engaging and just all round brilliant with the children. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁? Adults £4.63, child £3.83 Children under 3 are free. You must prebook your tickets. It’s worth noting the fort is not open on weekends and bank holidays. They only open at certain times throughout the school holidays so check their website prior to booking. 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼 free parking there is no food or drink sold on site so take a picnic if wanting to eat Toilets on-site including an adapted toilet, but no baby change The fort is wheelchair and buggy accessible throughout

We attended the Roman Festival at the Lint Fort yesterday and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. We got to witness battle re-enactments, see what cooking and jewellery that were made would've looked like. The best bits were particularly having a chance to do Archery (very friendly and helpful staff) and watch the performers in the Gyrus ring the lady presenter was brilliant I could've listened to her history lesson all day!! Very friendly staff everywhere and it was excellent. Definitely worth a visit and nice Little Caesars Hot Donuts were very tasty! Thankyou to all the staff and performers who made it thoroughly engaging. It felt like we'd gone back in time 👍

Not a very big site but the staff are incredible and really bring the place to life. Advance booking only and not open all year.

Visited Lunt Roman Fort as part of a school trip (this was the third year the school has visited). Thankfully it was a lovely day so we were able to fully enjoy it. The staff were dressed up in appropriate costumes and were very informative. The class had a great time taking part in a tour of the grounds (while marching like the Romans!) and learning about the living quarters and training of soldiers who would have lived in the Fort. Overall it was a great day out which the children enjoyed and were talking about for over a week after our visit.

Very interesting place, my son loved it and looked awesome when he dressed up as a Roman guard. Recommended

Fantastic experience. Everyone so friendly, the environment is curated and designed expertly and the festival superbly presented with specialists who educated and entertained. Will return!

Brilliant experience. Cannot fault a single thing. The staff were passionate and really interesting. Looked after me, my partner and my child really well. 100% recommended. I dont write reviews ever but this was really worth it. Top marks guys...

Superb. Thoroughly engaging. Super enthusiastic staff, and extremely knowledgeable. Lovely museum / display centre. Unusually, if I was to improve it at all it would be a larger / more diverse rande of trinkets in the gift shop.

Really good school day out. The children loved their day. Our host kept them engaged with the activities! All 60 children asleep on the way home 😜

Great for all the family, my grandchildren loved it. The staff are very informative and engage children very well. It has some strange opening times so please check

Staff here are really enthusiastic and bring the classroom to life here at Lunt Fort. Walked away gaining lots of language and knowledge.

Great little place with vast knowledge available from staff, family-friendly activities and hands on experiences. Children got to try on armer and explore the area.

We were on the event and... it was good experience. The were some battles. There were some activities for kids like making some roman soldier. You could try to wear roman soldier uniform or hold a sword. However I think tickets were too expensive

We had a great time here, we went to an event day where the Romans and Britons were amazing! We learnt so much about ancient crafts and dress and everyone was so willing to impart knowledge. Brilliant!

Volunteers of this Roman fort really put their heart and soul into it a shame they haven't got the money to keep it up together

If you are going here as a school visit it's totally worth it. The 2 guys who are the Roman soldiers are excellent teachers and very funny Best school trip as a teacher I've been on

The 2 gentleman running the event were brilliant. My grandson's can't wait to come back . Thanks for a great afternoon

Brilliant morning out. Booked for an event day and the two organisers were brilliant with the kids. Children got to try on armour, made roman belts and had a fun group battle moment. Would definitely recommend, worth the visit and the price is affordable.

As a Coach Driver I come here a lot and the children love coming here and they learn a lot

A marvellously historical recreated Roman Fort...brilliant for kids and grown ups alike 👍

What a great day out. Both entertaining and informative. Only wish it wad open more often.

A fantastic place for kids to learn about history and have fun at the same time. The staff are very friendly and were happy to pose for photos in character. The 'battle' training was brilliant even if it did end up with the kids attacking their commanding officer! 😂 Definitely worth a visit if you can!

The level of engagement by visitors and knowledge imparted in a fun way by the experts was outstanding. My son and I had a magical time!

Really great for a school trip as you get to learn a lot and play with replica weapons. Not sure how much an adult member of the public would get out of it, though.

Reconstructed roman Fort with unique features. Shame to see that not more has been done to improved the site though.

A really enjoyable day out made better by the staff who clearly enjoy their job

Great historical site showing what the romans did in building

The boys loved it, the 2 Roman soldier were absolutely amazing; clever, fun and kind.Thanks for a memorable day 😀
