Ancient Market Day
Wednesday 15th May, 11.45-3pm
Ancient Market Day will be returning to Abercromby Square again in 2013 due to popular demand. Ancient Market Day is a fete-style interactive day aimed at Years 9 and 10, designed to allow pupils to explore aspects of the ancient world through a set of hands-on activities. If the weather is good, the event will be held outside in Abercromby Square, in the heart of the University campus. Stalls will cover topics including: mummification, Roman clothing, shopping in the ancient world, archaeology & excavation, ancient food & drink. This year we are also hoping to have a visit from a Roman soldier (TBC). No prior knowledge of the ancient world is required, and the day will also encourage students to think about concepts like identity, trade and communication.
Please note that this popular event fills up quickly, so early booking is advised.
Places are limited to 12 students per school plus teacher. The cost is £7 per student, payable when booking.
