Join us for a visit to the Colchester Roman Circus Visitor Centre where, with scale models of the Roman Colonia and the circus, you will be given a history and description of the stadium. A replica racing chariot will reveal the skills involved in driving around the race course, followed by a visit to the replica Circus starting gates. The guided tour continues with a walk along the full length of the Circus, and details of the stadium are shared along the way.
We will then walk through part of the former Colchester Barracks to the Colchester Garrison Officers' Club (via St. John's Abbey Gate) where an afternoon tea of sandwiches, cakes, and tea and coffee will be served.
