About

Join us across the Easter weekend for a thrilling display of gladiator training and combat practice. 

Immerse yourself in a Roman encampment, explore living history demonstrations, try your hand at traditional crafts like clay work, leather stamping, and candle making (small fees apply), and chat with some of the re-enactors resident at the fort for the weekend.

Enjoy daily demonstrations, interactive experiences, and even an archery range, as the Historical Living Company recreates the sights and sounds of Roman Britain.
