CA Live! 2022 Exhibitor

Get closer to the Romans with a visit to Vindolanda. The frontier fort and settlement lies in the stunning central sector of Hadrian’s Wall and has extensive Roman remains to explore, live archaeology to watch and thousands of artefacts on display.

The on-site museum showcases an astonishing collection of artefacts, including Britain’s top treasure: The Vindolanda Writing Tablets, wafer thin wooden letters, which give a personal account of life at this frontier fort nearly 2,000 years ago. Vindolanda is also home to the largest collection of leather from anywhere in the Roman Empire. This collection includes over 5,000 shoes, tent panels and boxing gloves. You can watch the live excavation which takes place Monday to Friday between April and September, you may even see the next major discovery being uncovered.

An action packed year of events are taking place throughout 2022 as Vindolanda is part of the 1900th Festival, celebrating 1900 years since Hadrian’s Wall was built.
