(235)

Museum preserving the remains of the Roman fort at Wallsend which defended the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall. Marking the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall at Wallsend, Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum is one of the most fully excavated fort sites anywhere in the Roman Empire. Once home to 600 Roman soldiers who guarded the frontier against barbarian attack for almost 300 years, the site features the remains of the original Roman fort, an interactive museum, and full-scale reconstructions of a bath house (currently externally viewed only) and a section of Wall. The 35 metre high viewing tower provides outstanding views across this UNESCO World Heritage Site and the River Tyne, in a place of great historical significance, both ancient and contemporary. Our current opening hours are 10am-5pm, daily. Please see our website for events and exhibitions information. www.segednumromanfort.org.uk

Mauretania secured the eastbound Blue Riband record on her maiden return voyage from New York to Liverpool in December 1907 and claimed the westbound record in 1909.

In the First World War she served as a hospital and troop ship. And see that tiny boat beside her? That's Turbinia, which is on display in the atrium of Discovery Museum which is where you can view the scale model of the Mauretania featured.

This week's Stay and Play session was all about autumn. We met inside for some cosy play with musical and wooden toys, colouring and everyone's favourite... dinosaurs. Then we wrapped up warm and went outside to collect colourful leaves to make our own hungry caterpillars. When the rain arrived, we made our way back inside for snacks and drinks and finished with a sing-along to our favourite songs. If you're looking for ways for you and your little ones to connect with other families in an educational and inspiring space, our next session is on Wednesday 28 October.
