About
Join us as we celebrate Segedunum's 1900th anniversary with a weekend of Roman-themed family fun. Meet Emperor Hadrian, hear tales from across the Roman Empire, and take part in hands-on activities including archery, Roman games, weapons training and meeting Roman horses.
The Friends of Segedunum will also be helping younger visitors celebrate with a free children's picnic (while stocks last) and the chance to build their own mini Hadrian's Wall using soft rubber bricks.
