So this is Christmas...

@ National Roman Legion Museum

Celebrate Christmas through the ages

Join us as we travel through time and explore the customs and traditions of mid winter festivals past. The Romans celebrated with a festival called Saturnalia - it was a time of feasting, present giving, games and fun - and also gladiator fights!

Come and say `Happy Yule' to our Viking band (but watch they don't start marauding!) or dance the `Grizzly Bear' at our 1920's style party. Plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained - as well as a traditional mince pie and a glass of mulled wine!

Road Directions Town Centre, Caerleon, Gwent. Follow the brown helmet signs from the M4. Parking is either on Broadway (next to the amphitheatre), Museum Street (limited parking) or off High Street, adjacent to the Baths. Cycle stands are available at the amphitheatre.
