About the event
We said we wanted quirky…and what could be more off-the-wall than board games invented nearly 2,000 years ago! As part of the Wight Games Festival, visitors to Brading Roman Villa can enjoy an afternoon playing Roman board games like Rota. Participants will learn the simple rules and experience a fun, hands-on connection to everyday Roman life. No prior experience needed, just curiosity and a love of history. This will be held on the following two dates:
Wed 22 Jul 2026: 13:00 – 15:00
Wed 29 Jul 2026: 13:00 – 15:00
