Food

We’re provided water and campsite by the museum. All other needs you have to take care of yourself.

We can arrange Roman food for you all weekend for a small fee (http://www.fectio.org.uk/groep/lateroman2.htm). Please contact Robert for more information about costs of that and about the number of people interested.

Sleeping

You can build up your own tents in the campsite or make use of the buildings in the museum. Note that those buildings will be public area during the day, so stuff has to be away during public hours. Please contact Robert beforehand if you want to sleep in one of the buildings.
