The Roman Baths hosts the Eew! Revolting Roman Remedies Trail in Bath from 16 October to 1 December 2026. The family programme explores Roman medicine through a trail, museum displays and appearances by a Roman doctor during the October half-term period.
Eew! Revolting Roman Remedies runs from 16 October
The operator has scheduled the trail for 16 October to 1 December 2026. The activity invites visitors to follow clues around the museum, meet patients with mysterious ailments and investigate the treatments associated with Roman healthcare.
The trail uses herbs, honey and other ingredients to examine remedies recorded in the ancient world. It is included with admission, while the operator describes the activity as a family trail for visitors exploring the historic site. The official trail details give the programme dates and its location at The Roman Baths.
Roman medicine meets the Great Bath and museum displays
From 24 October to 1 November 2026, visitors can also meet a Roman doctor known as a medicus. The character explains how people were treated in Roman Britain nearly 2,000 years ago and adds a live element to the subject explored by the trail.
The Roman Baths were constructed around 70 AD as a Roman bathing and socialising complex. The site includes the Great Bath, the Sacred Spring, temple remains, an interactive museum and objects such as the gilt bronze head of Sulis Minerva.
That combination gives the October programme a direct link to the place: remedies and health beliefs are presented inside a complex whose original purpose included bathing, exercise and religious practice. Visit Bath describes the site as one of the best-preserved Roman remains in the world.
