CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE

The Sussex Archaeological Society has taken the very difficult decision to close Fishbourne Roman Palace completely and cancel any forthcoming events, until further notice.

As a charity we receive no core Government funding and rely solely on the generosity of our members and the public. If you wish to support us during this time, please see the section on our website about how to make a donation.

Any queries, please contact adminfish@sussexpast.co.uk

Welcome to the largest Roman home in Britain

Imagine the luxury that would once have surrounded the proud owner of this lavish Roman residence. This palace was certainly fit for a king. Stroll around the recreated Roman gardens – the earliest gardens found anywhere in the country – and enjoy the largest collection of mosaics in situ in the UK.
