Roman Day - Heritage Festival Launch

Join the festival team on the Open Course to learn more about the festival. Handle Roman artefacts from the Grosvenor Museum; try on armour; and take part in Roman games and activities. Spot the changes in the River Dee and Chester over the ages. View a display, More than a Shop – Browns of Chester’s Hidden Gems, collated by Cheshire Archives; and, younger visitors, make your own Browns of Chester catalogue.  

Watch a parade of Romans and other characters representing Chester’s splendid past and culture at around 13:00.  They will be led by Chester’s Town Crier's into the Parade Ring to hear his festival proclamation.

Throughout the afternoon there will be a host of other fun activities to keep the whole family entertained while watching the races.

Adult tickets for the Open Course cost £10.  

*Entrance is free to those aged 17 and under, who must be accompanied by an adult.
