School Visits
The Lunt is an excellent example of an early Roman fort and is the only reconstructed Roman cavalry fort in Britain. Based on the archaeological evidence on site, the Lunt's imposing wooden gateway and ramparts have been reconstructed to create a glimpse into the history of Roman Britain.
Educational visits to the Lunt are tailored to the Key Stage 2 History curriculum, supporting your study of the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain.
The Lunt is open on weekdays for pre-booked visits only. We are closed from early December and normally reopen after the February half term holiday.
Our teachers’ resource pack complements the facilitated sessions with suggestions for pre or post visit cross-curricular activities.
You can download it from the 'Following in the Footsteps of Soldiers' page. available here.

Our sessions
School sessions at the Lunt are very popular and to avoid disappointment we recommend booking your visit at least a term in advance. When calling us to make your provisional booking, please have several possible dates in mind.
Once your booking has been arranged, a confirmation form will be emailed to you to check and keep.
Our staff are happy to help and advise you during this booking process. If you would like to speak to the Lunt team who deliver our school sessions, our administrative office will put you in touch to discuss your requirements in more detail.
