Hadrian's Wall 1900 Festival

Join us as we celebrate 1900 years since the building of Hadrian’s Wall.

Embrace the last of the dark nights of winter as you meander through a city of light, immerse yourself in live outdoor performance or visit one of many exhibitions or talks. As Spring arrives, take a walk on the wild side of the Wall, or go back in time as you watch a re-enactment or simply reflect in front of a mesmerising large scale temporary artwork. Take advantage of the longer days as we invite you to a host of Summer fun from a Roman’s Big Birthday Bash to sunset evening music performances.

Take the family to a fun filled country fete or join your friends for a weekend walking festival. As Autumn and Winter draw in again visit illuminated gardens, antiquarian fayres and finish in true Roman style with Festival of Saturnalia.
