Our major transformation project
Chedworth's development project got underway with the uncovering of new mosaics in summer 2010. Building work is being carried out throughout 2011 to replace the conservation shelters and enhance the visitor facilities.

A new cover shelter will be built over one wing of the Villa, providing a stable and controlled conservation environment. From 2012, visitors will be able to move over a suspended walkway and get much closer to the mosaics, including the newly excavated mosaics.
New exhibition and displays

The museum will be transformed to tell the story of the original excavation of the site in 1864. Visitors will be able to find out about the personal experiences of those involved in the dig, the archaeological techniques of the period and how the Victorians shaped the site as it is today.
New visitor facilities
A great new facility for people of all ages to learn more about the Villa

A new purpose built education facility will allow the thousands of school children and local community groups that visit each year to enjoy learning about the Villa in a comfortable space. Our visitor reception will be refurbished providing a café and updated services.
