This October half term, Fishbourne Roman Palace is seeking new recruits to enlist in its Roman Army!From Monday 26th to Friday 30th October our young visitors can join up as a trainee Roman soldier. Once enlisted the new recruits will take part in military exercises in the Palace Gardens and get stuck into daily activities.
From writing their name in Roman letters to mastering sword and shield practice the new recruits will learn what it was like to be a Roman soldier and the skills they needed for combat!
As well as dressing up in uniform, they will learn about the medicines used 2000 years ago and how soldiers would spend their leisure time.
🎃 There will also be a Pumpkin Trail through the Palace gardens – a gentle nod to Halloween's ancient roots in Samhain, the Celtic festival marking the turning of the year.
This event is suitable for all ages.
