Nature in Focus Exhibition

22 July - 12 September 2026

Our new exhibition is now open!

To celebrate this year’s Festival of Archaeology, we’re delighted to present Nature in Focus, inspired by the festival’s theme of Archaeology and Nature.

The exhibition features stunning photography capturing the beauty of our landscapes and wildlife, alongside a beautiful collection of sea-themed ceramics that celebrate the natural world around us.

The exhibition runs until early September, so there’s plenty of time to come and enjoy it.

Museum admission is required, but when you pay once, you’ll receive an annual pass, allowing you to visit as many times as you like throughout the year. With changing exhibitions and plenty to discover, there’s always something new to see at Brading Roman Villa.

We look forward to welcoming you!

More Information

Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, an additional way to support the museum is by using Gift Aid.

We are able to claim Gift Aid on pay once, visit all year tickets. When you book online or buy your ticket at the museum, we will ask you if you are a UK taxpayer and if you are happy for us to claim Gift Aid on your ticket purchase. As a registered charity, this means we can claim an additional 25p on every £1 which makes a real difference to Brading Roman Villa Trust’s work to continue to protect and conserve the site for the future. All you need to do is give your permission when you buy your ticket. So, if you purchase a family ticket and select Gift Aid, we can claim £9.75 from the government.

By allowing us to claim Gift Aid, you are declaring that you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HMRC to adjust your tax code.
