Roman Crafts Weekend at Chedworth Roman Villa

Meet skilled artisans as they bring Roman crafts to life through a series of fascinating demonstrations and hands-on experiences.

Watch delicate bone hairpins and Roman-inspired jewellery being carefully crafted, and learn about the fashions and personal adornments that reflected status and style in Roman Britain. Discover how natural materials were used to dye wool and fabric, producing the rich colours worn across the Roman world. See traditional spinning techniques in action and gain an insight into the processes behind Roman textile production.

You can also get closer to the past with a rare opportunity to handle genuine Roman artefacts discovered at Chedworth.

A selection of handcrafted items will be available to purchase from the stalls. Please bring cash, as there is no mobile signal on site and card payments cannot be accepted.

Normal admission applies.
