Roman Villa Experience
This Summer, The Newt in Somerset reveals a pioneering new archaeological and educational experience. The expansive and ambitious reimagining of a Romano-British villa, inspired by the unearthing of a settlement on the estate, dating back to 351AD, will open alongside an innovative and interactive visitor centre, which sits carefully over the exposed foundations of the original villa. Time travel is hungry work, so we have prepared some authentic Roman fare to be enjoyed at the end of your grand tour.
All members must pre-book for the Roman Villa Experience. Summer opening hours 10am to 5pm (last entry at 3pm)
A Feast for The Senses
Discover a feast for all the senses, from garden eateries to daily tours and seasonal workshops, all inspired by the land beneath our feet and the history and tradition of Somerset. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of every visit. Explore formal and productive gardens, get a buzz from the Beezantium or discover a subterranean world in The Story of Gardening. Finally, no day would be complete without stopping at the cellar or the Farm Shop to sample a drop or two of Cyder.
