Calling all home educators! Step back into Roman times and celebrate Quinquatria (or Quinquatrus), the five-day festival honoring the birth of the goddess Minerva. Traditionally held from 19–23 March, this festival was a highlight of the Roman calendar.

Join us for a fun and educational session where you’ll:

  • Learn the fascinating history behind Quinquatria
  • Create themed crafts to take home
  • Follow a trail around the Roman Baths and uncover real Roman building materials that once formed part of the temple dedicated to Minerva

This hands-on experience is perfect for home-educated learners who want to explore Roman culture in an interactive way.
