Middlewich Roman Festival 2011
#1
The Romans came to the Cheshire town of Middlewich for the weekend of 24/25th September, thanks to the Ermine Street Guard, who celebrate their 40th anniversary next year. It was a fantastic occasion which even the rain failed to spoil. This festival has been held annually since 2001.

I live in Winsford and think it's great that things like this are happening. Well done! Big Grin

Thanks Stephen. Yes, the town of Middlewich has been holding the festival every year since 2001 on the field where the fort used to be. The archaeological finds there are now in the town's local museum.

I actually took part in the reenacting and was one of the legions. It was great fun but to take part in such an excercise you need bags of energy. I'd definitely do it again though. Best Regards, Appius. Tongue
