The Romans

What the Romans Did for Us is an excellent insight to the Invasion of Britain. Our colourful and vibrant recreated conflicts between the Britons and the Romans spark great enthusiasm for the subject – and you can dress up as Romans, too!

Find out how heavy their armour was and how far a legionnaire could throw his spear and you can see the actual catapult built and used in the blockbuster film Gladiator!
