Romanfest

Join us for a great family day out to kick off the summer holidays with a fun packed weekend of all things Roman at Hull Museums.

See the Roman army preparing for battle and join in their drills. Meet citizens and Centurions and get creative with crafts and pottery inspired by our amazing artefacts.
