Schools
Roman Tours in Chester illustrate the story of the Roman invasion of Britain and the assimilation of the British tribes into the empire nearly 2,000 years ago. They do this using a combination of character acting, role play, questioning and demonstration that is interactive, informative and totally entertaining to all ages.
At Roman Tours they provide a service to primary and secondary education that is a curriculum-relevant experience and also conduct specially tailored sessions for schools catering for disabilities and special needs. These make an ideal school trip or educational day out.
All Roman Tours staff carry full and enhanced CRB checks and their service is fully risk-assessed and fully insured. Complete peace of mind is ensured for your trip or day out to this historic Chester tourist attraction.
Visiting Roman Tours in Chester
If you are considering bringing a school group to Chester, then there is no better way than to visit them through their partners at the Grosvenor Museum. Schools find that a visit to the museum combined with a Roman soldier patrol is an ideal way to start the topic or reinforce teaching.
Groups arriving are met at the museum by a Roman soldier in full and authentic armour and brought to attention in the style of a sergeant major who welcomes them to 25 years of service in the legions. They are then each given a set of armour to wear (lightweight plastic). The new recruits are then given an insight into the life of a Roman soldier and the rigours he must endure in the British climate. They swear an oath to the Emperor before heading out on patrol to various Roman remains including Chester’s own amphitheatre. This is a fantastic, educational experience for all concerned.
Clubs, Groups and Societies
Roman Tours are able to offer a range of activities and talks to private groups and societies such as:
- Talks and lectures on various Roman topics
- Roman Army workshops
- Drill and marching activities
- Boot Camp activity days, including military training, foraging and eating in the 1st century, medicine, lifestyles and team building exercises
- Roman cooking displays
- Gladiator school
- Team building courses
