To celebrate #hadrian1900 and the Romans who lived and worked in our area, this year Malton Museum is hosting a Roman Festival. This includes an enlarged Roman exhibition, bringing out of our archives. This includes artefacts that have not been on display before as well as new acquisitions from recent digs in our community such as at Brooklyn House in Norton.
To coincide with our 2022 exhibition entitled ‘What lies Beneath?’ we will have a family fun day during the ‘Festival of Archaeology’ on 24th July 2022.

- Live-action Roman Cavalry displays by Equistry and Roman Legionaries Magister Militum re-enactors
