Brading Roman Villa are ‘Good to Go’ and ready to welcome back visitors

We are pleased to announce that Brading Roman Villa Museum will now be re-opening on selected dates during August and September in line with Government guidance.

To be able to ‘open what we can, when we can’, we are very grateful for the support we have received from our main grant funders, the Arts Council England, The National Lottery, Historic England and South East Museum Development Programme, as well as various government led initiatives.

Welcome support
We are also grateful to those who have made donations either through our Website or via our GoFundMe campaign as well as the Friends of Brading Roman Villa and the Vectis Archaeological Trust.

Closure had serious financial impact
To be sustainable, as a charity and a self-funded independent museum, we rely on what income we make ourselves.

90% of our income comes directly from our visitors through admissions and the cafe – sadly, whilst we were closed, this income was lost to us and that has had a serious financial impact on the Museum.

We look forward to welcoming you back
We are excited to welcome visitors back to the museum and to make sure your visit with us is as safe and enjoyable as possible we have made some changes to the way you visit.

Please check our Website for all the information needed and how to purchase our online tickets for entry.

But this story brings back memories for many of us living in the Undercliff. I like your predominant use of dialogue to tell it, making the reader feel closer to the characters. And the ending is beautiful. Birdsong has soothed and… Read more »

enjoyed the observations during this struggle with attachment and all that comes with it. Liked the seasonality of it too, so many cycles of nature and in this case vegetable season just always repeating come what may, wherever it may.

Thank you so much for this John. Your sense of story telling and character is so powerful and created a real sense of drama throughout that was totally gripping!
Thank you again and keep on writing!!!!!!
