About

Step into the past at The Roman Baths this half term!

Meet costumed characters, enjoy the kids-only audioguide narrated by Michael Rosen, and follow the Friendly Faces family trail, and get creative with crafts to celebrate the festival of Lupercalia.

Little ones can follow a free family trail, searching for clues, solving challenges and discovering more about the people who once lived, worked and relaxed at the Baths.

Throughout the week, free drop‑in craft sessions (Monday to Friday) invite children to get creative by making decorations inspired by the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia.

Families can extend the fun with an activity book packed with puzzles, games and quirky Roman facts, and older children can join a guided tour to uncover the lesser‑known stories of the ancient site. A visit can be rounded off in style with afternoon tea in the Pump Room—complete with sandwiches, cakes, scones and the option of bubbles for grown‑ups.

Archaeology Adventures

Young history hunters looking to get hands-on with the past will love Archaeology Adventures, an exciting add‑on experience running from 16–20 February. Budding archaeologists can dig for replica Roman artefacts in a purpose‑built trench, learning real excavation and recording techniques along the way. Sessions run each morning and cost £6 in addition to entry to The Roman Baths.
