Family fun: Archaeology Adventures, egg-citing crafts, children’s trails and audio guide

New for 2025, Archaeology Adventure gives children the chance to become real archaeologists, digging for replica Roman artefacts in a specially designed excavation trench. Taking place from 14 to 17 April in the underground Investigation Zone in the state-of-the-art Clore learning centre this hands-on activity will take young explorers below street level to uncover the secrets of Roman Britain. Tickets cost £6 per child in addition to entry to The Roman Baths, and pre-booking is highly recommended.  

Throughout April, families can embark on a new interactive trail, inspired by Luna, the goddess of the moon. Illustrated by local artist Ben Pulletz, Luna the globetrotter will guide young visitors on a journey through the Baths, discovering the fascinating connections between Roman culture and the moon and stars. 

From 14 to 17 April, children can also take part in egg-citing crafts, inspired by a remarkable discovery: a 5th–6th century teal’s egg unearthed in the Great Bath during a 19th-century excavation. Little creatives can decorate their own paper eggs, inspired by this ancient artefact. 

With hands-on activities, a special children’s audio guide, and Roman characters to meet, young history hunters will love exploring this ancient site. Plus, with family-friendly afternoon teas at The Pump Room Restaurant, shopping treats for all ages, and a discounted family ticket, The Roman Baths offers a great value day out the whole family will enjoy.
