May Half Term: Celts and Romans at Fishbourne Roman Palace

Date: 27 - 31 May 2024

Visit Fishbourne Roman Palace this May half term to celebrate all things Celts and Romans. These two communities lived side-by-side 2,000-years-ago, trading goods, ideas and cultural practices. From fashion to food, we’ve got lots of fantastic activities for families visiting Fishbourne Roman Palace this half term.

– Arts and Crafts – Learn more about where Celts and Romans lived while building a roundhouse or Roman villa at our arts and crafts stations.

– Mosaic making – Help create a giant mosaic in our lower courtyard. Or create a mini mosaic postcard to take home.

– Celtic fashion – Learn about how Celts dressed while receiving an authentic ‘woad’ tattoo on your arm.

– Games – Learn how the Romans and Celts relaxed while taking part in a number of authentic board games.

– Spinning – Spin wool to make a bracelet or bookmark following Celtic or Roman designs.

– Roman fashion – Dress like a Roman in our selfie dressing up station.

Plus, you can hunt down the Celtic warriors in the Palace gardens in our special trail, which will run every day during half term.

Activities cost just £1 per child for everything on offer, in addition to general admission. The £1 activity fee helps to support the charitable work we do at the Sussex Archaeological Society, which owns and cares for Fishbourne Roman Palace.

Admission includes access to the whole site, allowing visitors to marvel at the magnificent mosaics, explore its history and view hundreds of items which were excavated when the site was discovered in the 1960s.
