Celebrate the completion of the Roman Villa renovation project and experience what life in a Roman Villa would have been like almost 2000 years ago!

In 2017 Butser Ancient Farm launched an ambitious villa renovation project to improve the presentation and facilities at the villa. Based on excavations from Sparsholt near Winchester, the villa is now ready to welcome guests, with a working hypocaust, beautifully painted brightly coloured walls, a mosaic floor, toilets, furnishings and decoration fit for a Roman family to move in!

In association with Chichester’s Roman week the farm will be celebrating all things Roman and showcasing what life in a countryside Villa would have been like. Come and meet the Romans, make traditional Roman crafts and sample Roman food as you explore the villa and its surroundings. More details of activities available each day will be updated nearer the time.
