Malton Museum celebrates all things Roman at their very own Roman Festival!

Living history – The second Roman Festival will include live-action demonstrations from the Roman Cavalry by Equistry, marching and battle sequences from Magister Militum, Roma Antiqua and Legio VI Victrix. These well-known re-enactment groups will also have military encampments that demonstrate the changes in military equipment and Roman life throughout the 400 years of the Roman occupation of Britannia. These groups live and breathe life in the ‘Legion’ of Roman Britannia, their equipment is as correct as current knowledge allows and they will happily chat about any aspect of Roman life.

Children’s activities – There will be plenty to keep the children happy including mosaic making, wax tablet drawing, ‘archaeological digs’, Latin learning and being able to dress up as an Ancient Britain or a Roman Soldier.

23rd July 2023 – Admission from £9 per adult and £18 per family (2 adults and up to 4 children, 14 and under) – book online in advance
