These newly-developed holiday activity days offer children a great chance to immerse themselves in history surrounded by the museum collections.
Each full day of challenging new activities for unaccompanied 8 to 12 year olds will fire their imaginations, cultivating curiosity and drawing out the hidden curator, story-teller, explorer and historian.

10 April: Them and Us

Try on the clothing of Britons and Romans. Explore their different foods and social lives. Make some British artefacts and some Roman ones using clay and other materials. Ask a Roman soldier what he thinks of his posting in Exeter. Look at maps of the Roman Empire. Ask a Briton what he thinks of the Roman occupation. Use replica Roman catapults. Take part in a camp fire drama about the loss of the Ninth Legion.

11 April: The Furthest Shore
Explore the Roman interest in Britain and how they left their mark on the country. Ask a Roman military engineer how he planned roads and camps and what tools he used. Look at the route of Roman roads and plot how the Romans could have moved south from Exeter. Look at Roman place names. Make a bath house, a road or a mosaic.

12 April: Live and Let Live
How did the populations mingle and trade and what evidence do we have? Make coins and votive offerings. Find out about Roman and British shrines. Uncover some archaeological finds and talk about some local ones.

Tickets: £15 (per day), available in person at the museum or by calling 01392 265858 during opening hours.
