Chester Time Travel Tours: Roman Tour
Town Hall Square, Northgate Street, Chester, Cheshire, CH1 2HJ
The Time Travel Commission has experienced a minor malfunction...their historical contacts have become lost. Some have ended up in unfamiliar locations but all are displaced in time. It is your job to fight, flyt, avoid the hangman's noose and then identify which time period they are from so that they can successfully get back to their own time!
Meet different characters on different days. Will you clash with Romans, such as gladiator, Carpophorus? Compose poetry with Vikings like Skald-Ratatoskr, a Scandinavian-Norse skald? Meet Tudor stonemasons on trial in the street? Befriend Victorian pawnbrokers or the mysterious Dark Prince?
On this tour you will meet the hoplomachus gladiator with only one thing on his mind - himself!
Ideal for those in search of a shorter, more interactive, disability-accessible tour.
Two thousand years of local history in just sixty minutes!
