Cirencester Roman Amphitheatre is one of the largest Roman amphitheatre sites in Britain, with seating for over 8,000 spectators. We do not know for certain what events took place in the amphitheatre, but records from elsewhere in the Roman Empire suggest that blood sports such as bear, dog, and bull-baiting were common, as were public executions and gladiatorial contests.

An award-winning museum that traces the history of Cirencester from its origins as a Roman town, through its medieval prosperity as a centre of the Cotswold wool trade, to the turmoil of the Civil War years. As you might expect for an old Roman town, many of the exhibits showcase Roman artefacts, and there are opportunities for younger visitors to explore the fascinating history of the region through hands-on exhibits. Among the highlights are a Roman town-house interior, and reconstructed mosaic floors found nearby.
