A couple of our volunteers braved high winds and brilliant blue skies today to help get the site ready for Easter visitors and the 2025 season. Special thanks to Polly who tackled the dust at the Bastle Hose and took these great photos!

TOURS OF THE FORT!

Thursday 17th and Friday 18th April
We have some splendid leaflets but would you like a guided tour of the fort and bastle house?

Join one of our volunteers for a walk back in time to discover how the Epiacum landscape has been used over time and the impact the Romans and Border Reivers had on the landscape you see today.

Tours run at 10am, 11:30am & 1:30pm and last 90 minutes approx.

The tours are free but a £10 donation (£25 for a group or family of four) to the charity would be appreciated.

Please book your tour by leaving a comment speaking to the lovely people at The Nook Farm Shop & Cafe or email [email protected]
