Colchester Castle Museum holds summer holiday activities

With the bank holiday weekend shortly upon us, your thoughts will be turning to how to keep your kids entertained with summer holiday activities.


If you're in Essex the answer is Colchester Castle Museum, which is holding a Roman Legionary Life event.

Between Monday May 30th and Friday June 3rd, kids can meet a Roman soldier at several points throughout the day for no more than the price of admission to the castle.

The soldier will show visitors the weapons he used, the clothes he wore and what army life was like. It's the perfect chance to take some interesting snaps!

Kids looking for summer holiday activities can also find out about how the castle was built on an old Roman temple by the Romans and has since acted as a gaol for witches and a library.

This month and next, kids can also be transported back to the past at Tudor Tales at Ipswich's Christchurch Mansion, where a storyteller will tell some fascinating tales.
