Chester Roman Weekend 2011
Chester's Roman Weekend again graced the Grosvenor park, Amphitheatre and city centre streets over the wekend of the 4th and 5th of June. This years event was considerably bigger than previous years with a stronger living history presence within the grounds of the park. Over 160 took part in the march through the city to the Town Hall Square, on both days, where speachs wre made before the return journey.
As in previous years demonstrations of fighting skills took place within the amphitheatre, much more impressive with the additional manpower. With the Gladiatorial ftournament ending the day.
This years event drew Roman reenactors from actross Europe and a healthy crowd gathered on both days to witness the spectacle.
