Below is an overview of St Albans which is very near the competition venue.

St Albans offers a wealth of attractions and activities throughout the year, from famous historic sites to cultural escapes. Here’s our handy guide to help you have the best day out!

St Albans Museum + Gallery, a centre for arts and culture, showcases over 2,000 years of priceless heritage. Soak up the atmosphere of this grand 19th Century building, with regularly changing exhibitions and a vibrant programme of events.

The beautiful 11th-century St Albans Cathedral, on the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in England, stands proudly in the city centre. From summer 2019, the Cathedral’s brand new Welcome Centre and exhibition reveals the many treasures fascinating stories the Cathedral has to share.

St Albans was once named Verulamium - the third largest city in Roman Britain, and the Verulamium Museum unravels the district’s rich history with interactive displays, and some of the finest Roman mosaics and wall plasters outside the Mediterranean. Nearby you can explore more Roman history at the Hypocaust and the Roman Theatre.
