Mini Roman Festival, posted by Meroe

Well it wasn’t the all singing, all dancing Roman event we have all loved and enjoyed in previous years. But despite the lack of any support from various quarters, Ya Raqs were determined to support the Romans and early Britons who put on a mini Roman Festival in Chester’s amphitheatre on Sunday 1st June.

Dumnonika's display attracted a lot of interest

It was a fantastic day and we had a great crowd. We were lucky enough to do a couple of performances, and some mini-me workshops. And the Romans – well they did all their Roman stuff that they are so good at.

Teddy gets a hip scarf too! Phoenece and friends in a workshop.

It was a fantastic day and if you came to the event and had even a bit of a good time could we please PLEASE ask you to spread the word and tell folk what a great time you had. We need to bring the BIG Roman festival back to Chester and celebrate this city’s amazing Roman Heritage. Thank you.
