Battle Bridge

Battle Bridge (better known as King's Cross these days) will be subjected to Roman invasion all over again at this event celebrating the legend of Boudicca’s links to N1. Granary Square and its surrounding area will be transformed into a Roman settlement, and anybody bold enough to face representatives of one of history’s most fearsome races will be rewarded with a whole battalion of immersive performances and activities. Go to gladiator school, make your own mosaic, chat to some ancient businessmen in the forum and join Boudicca's rebel army as she storms the settlement in a horse-drawn chariot. Traders from Kerb will be serving up Roman-inspired dishes and there'll be film screenings throughout the weekend. All activities are free.
