Come along for a great family day out as you step back in time to when the Roman cavalry once roamed Hadrian’s Wall.

The cavalry regiments were the elite of the Roman army’s auxiliary forces. Marvel at the skill of the  cavalrymen with their battle equipment and horses and discover what training and daily life consisted of within the cavalry unit. 

Learn about Roman weapons, armour, horses and techniques during Equistry’s dynamic displays:

14.00 – Cavalry show - training techniques/skills/meet the horses

There'll be plenty of photographic opportunities throughout the day - we'd love to see your photos so please do share on our social media.
