About the activity
The Romans loved to grow herbs which they put into their meals to make them taste better. They brought many herbs to Britain! Have a go at planting your own Roman herbs to take away - how well will yours grow?
Take part in our Roman Herbs trail, where you will be able to explore our museum and outside areas to find examples of different Roman herbs. Visit our Herb garden to see examples of these herbs growing.This event is part of our Ways to Play series of free and low-cost family-friendly activities taking place in museums and galleries across Tyneside.
Make your Ways to Play adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro and / or Ferry. Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro and the Shields Ferry with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it’s even more affordable.
