Event:Festivals and Feasts
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
- On Wednesday the event will be led by a bilingual facilitator.
- The event is suitable for families and participation is encouraged! Younger children may need help making the paper garland.
