Roman Army Weekend - Binchester Roman Fort

About

The Roman Army returns to Binchester Roman Fort to do battle against the enemy!

Come and see demonstrations of archery, slingstaffs and the firing of the artillery catapult; the ballista.

Marvel at the battle tactics of the Roman cavalry and don't miss the gladiators in combat. Children can even enter the battle against local tribes!

Visit the tented Roman encampment and inspect the weapons, armour and equipment of Roman soldiers as well as the stalls of traders and artisans.

Tour the site and be amazed by the size and importance of Vinovia and its magnificently well-preserved buildings.
