Fun for all the family in Redditch! Even the kids got involved in the re-enactment as Roman soldiers; with foam swords and light shields, they were brought onto the battlefield to take on the Brit chieftain from The Vicus re-enactment group.

Roman Invasion was a brilliant, free event for children. If you're on the lookout for things to do with your toddler, check out the Little Explorers offer at Forge Mill! Loads of activities for under-5s and a lovely little playground!
