Dewa Roman Experience is a museum in Chester that brings Roman history to life, inviting you to discover the hidden history that lies beneath the city. You can explore an exclusive archaeological site, meet characters such as gladiators, cooks and centurions, and learn what life was like for Roman soldiers stationed in the fortress of Deva nearly 2000 years ago. It suits families and school groups especially, with school visits running Monday to Friday and public opening at weekends; there's also a Soldier School activity and birthday parties on offer. Chester station is just 0.7 miles away, and with 35 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it makes an easy addition to a short break exploring the city's Roman past.
