Summer evening opening

Explore the Roman Baths in the evenings with Tuesday Time Tables

August 2011

 

A series of interesting evening sessions will be held at Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Roman Baths during its late-night opening in July and August.

 

The Tuesday Time Tables, from 19 July to 30 August, give visitors the chance to get hands-on with archaeology. Members of the Council’s Roman Baths team and volunteers will be available to show and explain objects to visitors. 

Each week the team aims to showcase different aspects of the Roman Baths and its archaeological collection. On Tuesday 2 August it will explore how the Roman Baths were built and Russell Coates, a potter from Frome, will be demonstrating tile making.  

 

Susan Fox, collections manager at the Roman Baths, said: “This is a chance for people to get hands-on with archaeology and to see and touch a variety of objects – large and small – which make Bath & North East Somerset Council's collection designated as having national importance.”

 

The Tuesday Time Tables run from 6pm to 8pm on 19 and 26 July, and 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 August.

The world-famous Roman Baths will stay open to visitors every evening throughout July and August until 10pm, with last admission at 9pm. As it is managed by Bath & North East Somerset Council, entry to the Roman Baths is free to local residents on production of a Discovery Card or other proof of residence. Normal entry charges apply to everyone else.
