Hooray! Fishbourne Roman Palace reopens to the public today after a five month #coronavirus closure. #GoodToGo

Wow. What a first day of re-opening! Massive thanks to everyone who showed up to support us and to enjoy the Palace again. And for being so understanding and accommodating. Great to feel the buzz of visitors again. We love you all. ...is that something in my eye...? 🥲
