Ribchester Museum of Roman Antiquities is a registered charity with the UK Charity Commission
Charity number: 510490

The Ribchester Roman Museum is Lancashire’s only dedicated Roman antiquities museum.  Come and explore the fascinating ancient Roman history of this picturesque village on the banks of the river Ribble that was once the Roman cavalry fort and settlement of Bremetenacum Veteranorum.

We are in high demand as an educational resource for schools – see our schools page for details – and conduct a number of activities for children throughout the year. We also hold an annual weekend-long Roman festival, sited on the village playing fields, and metal detector experience days – see below for details about these.

Our opening hours are Monday to Friday 10:00 – 17:00 and Sunday 12:00 – 17:00
