Come rain or shine, York Minster is the perfect place for family fun this May half term. With hands-on activities, visiting Romans, immersive cinematic experiences and creative crafts, there’s something for every generation to enjoy.
Join us as we take part in the Eboracum Roman Festival, and welcome costumed interpreters to York Minster.
What have you always wanted to ask a Roman? Have you ever wondered what was like in York when the Romans lived here? Did you know that underneath York Minster are the remains of an ancient Roman army barracks? Now’s your chance to find out! Discover fascinating artefacts up close, from everyday food and clothing to jewellery and replica weapons.
These sessions will run each day between:
10am – 12.30pm
1.30pm – 3.30pm
They take place in St Stephen’s chapel inside the Minster. The sessions operate on a drop-in basis, no booking required.
All May half term activities are included with your sightseeing ticket. Adult tickets are priced at £20 and include entry for up to four children aged 17 and under for a whole year.
