The Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group will join us to discuss their excavations and bring some finds from the site. The Finds Liaison Officer for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire will also join us on the day showing a variety of Roman finds from the region. There will also be the opportunity to see the Museums Roman Samian pottery collection and find out more about it. Young visitors can also take part in Roman themed craft activities to take away.
