Roman 'Christmas' event at Castleford Museum
A special event at Castleford Forum Museum this Saturday - Saturnalia. Saturnalia is the best-known Roman festival which ran from 17th to 23rd December. It was a time of gift-giving, feasting, and time to decorate the house with greenery - sound familiar?
Come to Castleford Museum between 10 and 3pm this Saturday to find out how the Romans celebrated! Meet a Roman soldier, hear some Roman stories and make yourself a Roman mosaic coaster to take home - the perfect last-minute Christmas gift!
