The site was home to a respected museum for more than 30 years, now under new management, it has undergone a complete revamp.
Deva Roman Discovery Centre will be a Roman attraction worthy of Britain’s most Roman of cities and will create a destination for the city to be proud of revealing its fascinating past.

We enjoyed it and I thought the “Roman Soldier” we met when we arrived and later on was very knowledgeable and entertaining. However it was expensive for what it was, not that much to see for the £25 I paid for entry, some of the interactive activities didn’t work or were missing which is not good considering it is a new attraction, so felt rather ripped-off.
