May half term

Why not 'Caesar' the day and 'Roman' down to CFT, to join us in getting creative for May half term. On Tuesday, join us to unleash your inner gladiator and craft your very own Centurion Shield. And on Wednesday, create a work of art with line, wash and ink painting techniques. The session is two hours and includes all resources.

These events are part of Chichester's award-winning Roman Week which celebrates the city's rich Roman heritage with a series of district-wide events designed to engage visitors of all ages.
