Summer of Play the Roman Way

Summer of Play the Roman Way. Ready to play like a Roman? This summer, discover how ancient families spent their leisure time with our action‑packed Summer of Play experience. From clever strategy games to hands‑on activities, explore the past through play at Chedworth. Challenge your family with board games such as Rota, Five Lines and Nine Men’s Morris, enjoyed in Roman households for centuries. Experience the excitement of Chedworth’s chariot racing arena, and enjoy large‑scale fun with giant board games and puzzles. Try traditional activities such as hoop rolling, and test your aim with a bean‑bag pot shot inspired by the Roman latrine.

Follow your Summer of Play map to explore each activity area. Every corner of Chedworth Roman Villa offers a new way to play the Roman way.

After all the excitement, take a moment to soak up the timeless beauty of the Cotswold countryside.

Why not enjoy an ice cream in the Chedworth Café or relax at a picnic spot next to the ruins of the Villa? Put your sun hat on and come and make the most of being outdoors this summer.
