Colchester Civic Society ‘tea’ at Roman Circus House

Yesterday (18th January), about 40 members of the Colchester Civic Society visited Roman Circus House. Trust director Philip gave them a guided tour of the circus site and centre, including our recent excavation site and the exposed remains of the circus, as well as of the building itself. After the tour, our cafe manager Gemma provided the visitors with afternoon tea in our cafe. This is the first time that we have done a ‘tea’, and we went for the full works: sandwich, scone, cake and cup of tea!

As it was a ‘pop-up’ cafe session, we also produced a small ‘pop-up’ leaflet about our building (originally the NAAFI of the Artillery (Le Cateau) Barracks) for the Civic Society.

(This was a pre-booked group visit. Our cafe is currently closed for the winter.)
