This week is seeing a very busy time at the Castle with EH members week and for our costume interpretation volunteers in particular.
Our first ever expansion into the fourth century late Roman period, took place at the amphitheatre as part of the programme.
The weather was, shall we say slightly hot for Britannia but that didn’t deter lively engagement with many visitors and tourists.

The castle will be open this weekend and we will be returning to the amphitheatre again on Saturday as well, in support of the Viking Discover day!
