Pictures: Roman legions take over York for Eboracum Festival

History has come to life in York this weekend as the Romans take over the city.

The free Eboracum Roman Festival is on again today (Sunday, 9 July), where you can experience the sights and sounds of a Roman Encampment in Museum Gardens from 10am-5pm.

And you can take part in free Roman themed family activities between 11am-3pm, including storytelling, a treasure hunt and clay crafting.

The popular Kid’s Army and Gladiator School is back, giving children the chance to get involved with our exciting Roman re-enactments.

To explore fashion through the Roman age, join Lorie Ann from California’s Legion Six Victrix in Los Angeles to host a light-hearted look at ‘classical’ couture.

New this year is ‘Circus Maximus’, a chance for families to get creative with a range of hands-on activities, including making a hobby horse to enter in either the chariot race or equestrian dressage.
