The celebration will feature family activities and crafts to guided tours, and the spectacle of the Roman Re-Enactment.

In Chichester's Priory Park, visitors will be able to witness gladiators in combat, see Roman soldiers in action, find out about life in the Roman army and discover what Roman life was like with demonstrations of slavery, cooking, falconry and more.

Chichester has a rich history with the Romans as the city was first established as ‘Noviomagnus Reginorum’, after the Roman invasion in AD43.

Their legacy can be found across the city, including the Roman walls surrounding the city and the Roman bathhouse located in The Novium Museum.
