⚔️ The Romans are returning to Buxton!Now in its third year, the Buxton Roman Festival is back to bring the town’s Roman past to life! This year’s festival will also sit alongside the Buxton Water Festival, a year-long programme of events launching in 2027 to celebrate Buxton’s unique relationship with water and its rich heritage.
Join us as we explore the role the Romans played in shaping Buxton, from their presence in the town to the significance of its famous thermal waters.
Expect Roman living history displays, military demonstrations and interactive activities exploring everyday life in Roman times. Discover Roman food, crafts and military life, and find out how the Romans made use of the town’s natural resources.
We’re also looking to make the festival bigger and better, with talks, workshops and demonstrations throughout the weekend, giving visitors even more opportunities to get involved, learn something new and experience the Roman world first-hand.
Could you be part of the festival?
We’re looking for living history groups, traders, speakers, workshop leaders and demonstrators to join us. Whether you have a display, an activity or an idea for a talk, we’d love to hear from you.
To get involved, contact Matt at [email protected].
Help us bring Buxton’s Roman past to life as part of an exciting year celebrating the town’s heritage and its famous waters!
