Event:Festivals and Feasts

National Roman Legion Museum
Finished

Come and join us this half-term to find out more about festivals and feasts in the Roman world.

What Can I Do?

Become a wealthy Roman - put on a toga and clap for your favourite dish of dormice* or find out more about entertainment at a feast.

You could make a paper flower garland to wear to the feast or have a go at our trail around the museum about festivals and feasts. 

And while you’re there, download a QR code to give you access to a booklet about Roman recipes so you can continue your Roman adventure at home.

*Not real dormice!

More Information
