About Fishbourne Roman Palace

The palace is one of properties managed by the Sussex Archaeological Society, the UK’s oldest group of its kind, established in 1846, which is dedicated to preserving Sussex heritage.

As a registered charity, we open historic houses and gardens to the public, curate six accredited museums, and promote research through our extensive libraries, archives, and research grants.

With no government funding, we rely on income from admissions, donations, grants, and memberships to care for 10 Listed buildings, six Scheduled Monuments, and a Registered park and garden. Your support as a Volunteer can help preserve our local heritage.
