Part of the BBC Civilisations Festivals

Wednesday 20th June – Friday 22nd June 2018 : Denman College, WI
Residential Course : Chedworth Villa: House & Garden the Roman Way
With a visit to the great Roman villa at Chedworth included, explore what life was really like for the up-and-coming villa owners of Roman Britain. See the site through an archaeologist’s eyes with Gillian Hovell, ‘The Muddy Archaeologist’ as your guide and lecturer, and discover how fashion, aspirations and aesthetics were introduced into our homes 2,000 years ago. Find out how our own homes still echo the ideals of Roman home-making. This is ‘Through the Keyhole’ in Roman life; join us and you’ll never look at a Roman villa – or your own home decorations and gardens – in the same way again!
