The Novium Museum can provide a unique and stunning venue for your corporate event.
With a capacity of 200, this versatile space can lend itself to a variety of events from private talks, to product launches, to public showcases.
Built above the remains of a Roman public bath house, The Novium sets out on a journey across time and covers over 500,000 years of local history.
The museum is housed in a new building designed to display the remains of Chichester's Roman Bath house. On the ground floor this open archaeological site is interpreted by a short film showing the use of the baths and what the site has been used for.
The first floor of the museum holds temporary exhibitions displayed in a huge cube case. Currently the exhibition shows the chronological changes of Chichester district from Roman to modern day.
On the top floor of the museum, visitors can overlook the rooftops and have a stunning view of the Cathedral and Bell tower. The second floor gallery hosts our Tim Peake exhibition.
