The Kitchen Garden At Marble Hill

The spectacular fort of Housesteads was once a vital component of Hadrian’s Wall that protected the frontier of the Roman empire for over 300 years.  It was also home to a thriving community of thousands.

Join Curator of History, Dr Andrew Roberts, to rediscover the sights, sounds and smells of this community via an interactive sensory tour.  We will explore what it was like to see the vivid colours of the soldiers clothing and painted emblems of the unit and their gods, to hear the sounds of making and mending in the workshops, to smell the day’s bread baking in the bakehouses, and to live in cramped quarters with your fellow soldiers and share heat and water in the communal baths.

This event has been graded as moderate access. There will be limited places to stop and rest during the walk and may include some uneven terrain and steps.

Meeting point: Housesteads Visitor Centre Car Park, Hexham, NE47 6NN

Bookings for this event will open on this page on Saturday 23 May.

Summer Craft Fair At Belsay Hall

Salisbury Cathedral is famously the cathedral that moved, leaving the windswept heights of Old Sarum for the valley below. Eight hundred years ago, the tombs of Bishops Osmund, Roger and Jocelyn were carried down the hill to New Sarum, marking the beginning of a new spiritual home.

To mark this anniversary, Old Sarum will come alive with medieval crafts, demonstrations and hands‑on activities. Explore a bustling medieval camp, meet the people of the 13th century, and watch carpenters, stonemasons, bakers and blacksmiths revive centuries‑old skills – a rare chance to see, hear and even smell the Middle Ages.

On Sunday, visitors are welcome to join a short service at 1.15pm led by the Bishop of Salisbury, followed by an optional gentle procession that echoes the historic journey made eight centuries ago.

With sweeping views, fresh air and history unfolding around you, it’s the perfect way to discover where Salisbury’s story began.
