To coincide with our special touring exhibition, Gladiators: A Cemetery of Secrets, opening in October 2022, we are running a series of special Gladiator workshops with living history group Historical Lives.
Gladiator School for classes of up to 32 children
A professional re-enactor will recreate a day at the amphitheatre:
- A day at the market
- Gladiator training
- Entering the arena
- Animal hunts
- Winning freedom
Pupils will learn battle tactics (with foam weapons) just like Roman Gladiators in amphitheatres.
This is a 45-minute interactive show with time for questions and artefact demonstrations.

Gladiators A Cemetery of Secrets
Following the extraordinary discovery of eighty Roman burials outside of York, this exhibition explores the remains of some of these people who may have been gladiators.
