100 acres of beautiful parkland close to the city centre and is a popular attraction throughout the year with wide range of facilities. The Park is named after the Roman City of Verulamium on which it stands. The City walls and outline of the London Gate can still be seen. Verulamium Museum displays hundreds of remarkable objects that have been excavated from the ground.
The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is unique. Built in about 140AD it is the only example of its kind in Britain, being a theatre with a stage rather than an Amphitheatre.
Built and run entirely by members, we’re all about providing high-quality, affordable theatre to the local community. We’ve been delighting audiences for more than fifty years, mostly through the work of our resident production company, the widely-acclaimed Company of Ten.
