Arbeia to bring guided tours back to historic Roman site

Arbeia’s first tours since Easter will get underway in July.

After months out of the calendar, South Shields’ Arbeia Roman Fort will offer guided tours once again in July.

The last tours took place in mid-April when education settings across the North East were closed for the summer holidays.

With the summer holidays on the horizon, tours will return to the site after months away.

Events will take place each Thursday, starting from Thursday, July 23 and running weekly until Thursday, August 27.

This coincides with the term dates across the majority of schools in South Tyneside, which will run from the end of the school year on Friday, July 17 until Wednesday, September 2.

Tickets for the guided tours cost £2 through online bookings with sessions taking place between 11am and 12.30pm.

Walks around the site are led by volunteers with expert knowledge on the site and Roman Britain.
