Gladiators at the Sacred Spring - Saturday 25 July 11am - 4pm - Free event!

Did you know that the Roman road Stane Street once ran through Ewell? Archaeological discoveries in the area suggest that Romans not only travelled through here but may also have stopped at the very spring where Bourne Hall now stands.

To celebrate the Festival of Archaeology, authentic Roman re-enactors will be setting up camp at Bourne Hall, bringing history vividly to life. Visitors will have the chance to explore the camp, meet the re-enactors, and discover the fascinating details of everyday Roman life. Through engaging conversations, hands-on experiences, and small demonstrations, you’ll learn about everything from clothing and tools to customs and traditions, all showcased with carefully crafted replica artefacts.

Adding to the excitement, gladiator re-enactors in full costume will stage thrilling combat demonstrations, recreating the spectacle of a Roman arena. These performances offer a unique glimpse into one of the most iconic aspects of Roman culture.

This promises to be a fun, educational, and interactive day for all ages—celebrating Ewell’s rich historical connection to the Roman world and bringing our shared past to life.
