Return of the Romans! Eboracum Roman Festival brings centurions to the streets!
Saturday 24 May to Saturday 31 May 2025
The sound of a cornu – a traditional Roman horn – will resound around the streets of Eboracum this weekend (from Saturday 24 May) to mark eight days of family-friendly events, parades, tours and trails throughout modern-day York.
Eboracum Roman Festival is a staple in York’s festival calendar, bringing the colour of the city’s Roman founders back to life. At the heart of the bank holiday weekend celebrations will be a free living history encampment in the Museum Gardens. A host of costumed characters – illustrating both the military life and civilians – will set up camp on the central lawn, directly in front of the Yorkshire Museum, featuring Ermine Street Guard, Comitatus, Longthorpe Legion and Griffin Historical. The living history encampment runs from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
