Lunt Roman Fort — Attraction in Warwick

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.

Excellent day out for the Roman Lunt Fort day. Lots to see and do and the staff were so friendly. The gladiator scene/fights were amazing. Highly recommend. Only slight downside was the lack of facilities for the disabled. The website states full access but I found the disabled toilet very small and not working properly. Reported to staff and they apologised and said they would deal with it. Also entrance into the large building with the mini Lunt Fort is has a great ramp, but a rather high step to get over. I'm lucky that I can walk a little so my mobility scooter was able to be lifted over. In the case of the person being unable to walk at all, they would be unable to enter the building. Perhaps...

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...
