Families are invited to enjoy a spring trail with a regal theme from 1 April to 31 May.

The whole family can get involved in searching for a new crown for the Roman Emperor; for younger visitors, crowns will be hidden for them to spot as they explore the ancient site, while older kids can look out for headwear suitable for an Emperor within the collection, from wigs to laurel wreaths.

Children will love chatting to the costumed characters beside the Great Bath, and listening to the children’s audioguide narrated by author Michael Rosen.

The ‘Royal Roman Quest’ trail is included in Roman Baths admission and discounted family tickets are available. Don't forget that if you are a resident of Bath and North East Somerset, you receive free entry to the Roman Baths with a valid Discovery Card.

Free Tours of the Roman Baths Clore Learning Centre

As part of the National Lottery’s Thanks to You Week, National Lottery ticket holders can join a guided tour of the new, state-of-the-art Roman Baths Clore Learning Centre, which was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The tour includes a chance to try some of the activities that children take part in during school visits, including excavating and identifying replica artefacts in the Investigation Zone.

Tours take place at 3pm (sold out) and 4pm on Monday 20 March and are free to National Lottery Players. Proof of purchase of a National Lottery game can be either a hard copy or digital ticket. Advance booking is essential.

Easter Lates at the Roman Baths

The Roman Baths will stay open until 8pm (last admission 7pm) from Friday 7 to Monday 10 April, so that visitors can soak up the atmosphere around the torchlit Great Bath.

There will be a pop-up bar from 12 noon to 7.30pm each day selling Champagne, sparkling wine, hot chocolate and a selection of soft drinks. The museum will stay open late so that visitors can look around the fascinating displays about life in Roman Bath, long after the usual closing time.
