Discover the Roman Legion Find out what life would have been like in the Roman Army - do you have what it takes to join the legion? See our Roman Villa brought to life with demonstrations of daily life from cooking to board games. Get hands-on and learn an ancient skill like spinning or carving chalk as you explore our open air site.

Please be aware many of our guided activities and demonstrations are delivered by our wonderful volunteers and may be subject to change on the day.
