The Roman Baths in Bath hosted the Halloween Scraptastic Event with Children's Scrapstore Bristol on 31 October 2026. The craft programme formed part of the wider Eew! Revolting Roman Remedies family season at the historic site.
The event listing for 31 October identifies the venue as the Roman Baths in Abbey Church Yard, Bath. It names Children's Scrapstore Bristol as the participating organiser and places the activity within the October half-term programme.
Halloween craft joined the Roman medicine programme
The Halloween activity was presented as a special craft event alongside Eew! Revolting Roman Remedies. The season invited families to explore Roman medicine through a trail, stories about ancient treatments and activities connected with the way Romans used herbs and other ingredients.
The 31 October programme gave the half-term offer a specific activity at the Baths rather than leaving visitors with only a general seasonal theme. Halloween event details also place the craft activity within the family category and name the Bath address.
The Great Bath gives the craft event its setting
The Roman Baths preserve a bathing complex supplied by the Sacred Spring. The Great Bath was the centrepiece of the Roman establishment, and its water was fed directly from the spring.
The pool is 1.6 metres deep and lined with 45 thick sheets of lead. Four steep steps surround it, while the wider site includes the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, heated rooms and plunge pools.
That setting connects the Halloween programme with the place itself: a family activity about Roman remedies took place beside remains that show how water, worship and treatment were organised in Aquae Sulis. The operator's current event listing places the activity among the Roman Baths' autumn programme.
