What have the Roman's ever done for us? Binchester Roman Fort is answering that question as it steps back in time to offer the sights, sounds, hustle and bustle that soldiers would have experienced on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.
Organised by the Durham County Council archaeology team, the Binchester Roman Fort Festival provides an opportunity for visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in Roman life.
Highlights include the creation of a Roman encampment, showcasing how soldiers lived as they defended and expanded the empire, while a series of re-enactments will demonstrate the essential military skills troops needed to serve their Emperor, including archery, slingshots and catapult artillery.
