Very interesting place to visit if you are into Roman history and/or local Colchester history. Small museum but a good one - icing on the cake is the chance to see visible remains of largest Roman chariot circus ( think Ben-Hur) north of the Alps. And in an interesting part of town anyway, with St Johns Abbey gatehouse close. Town centre only five mins walk; park in Napier Rd North carpark, cheaply.

Feel pleased to have visited. Such a unique piece of history in UK. The area is still underdeveloped and can do more to increase its potential, but I guess it's early days and at least it's established now.

This is an amazing place... loved every minute. Our tour guide was amazing, she was so informative. Will definitely be back.

Imagine Pompeii or the Colosseum in Rome. Now, this Roman circus doesn't quite match up to either of these. A lot of imagination will be needed as there are virtually no actual remains. It's still definitely worth going to however. The starting gates have been recreated and the cafe is very quiet and peaceful

Excellent place to visit, the Roman Circus was really worth going to.. It doesn't open (at the moment), until 11am.. There is a great exhibition indoors and lots to see outside.. It was 1 for an adult to get in and free for children.. A bit difficult to see the turn but once found it was good to be there.. Great educational value.. There is a brilliant mosaic piece outside and some seating areas as well as a really nice cafe inside.. Great food.. Scones, sandwiches and cakes, excellent staff.. Took my Grandson of 13 years and he really enjoyed it.. It's small, but well worth the effort of seeing it.. Considering there are not many Roman Circuses.. It's perfect for exploring the past.. There were posters available to buy and very reasonably when I went in April.. Hopefully they still have them when I go back.. Remember to take your camera, there are some excellent pieces inside and outside worth photographing..
