Two groups of re-enactors are coming to Stevenage’s Event Island as part of this year’s Festival of Archaeology. The Roman Military Research Society will put on demonstrations that show why the Roman army was such a formidable force. The Longthorpe Legion recreates how everyday people lived in this far-flung northern outpost of the Roman Empire, Britannia. You can chat to the re-enactors and, if you are brave enough, perhaps join up and get put through your paces as a Roman army recruit!
The museum is inviting people to have a go at digging activities to help understand how we find out about the ancient past and piece together the clues found buried beneath our feet. Junction 7 Creatives are hosting some archaeology-inspired arts and crafts activities. If you love history, this should be a really fun day. And it’s FREE to come along and join in!
