There will be stories of the period brought to life through events and displays – from gladiator battles and falconry demonstrations to re-enactments and storytelling.
But Arbeia is no stranger to holding fantastic events as these archive Shields Gazette photos show.
It has hosted candlelit tours, music events, and school lessons with a historic theme.
Don’t just take our word for it. Take a look for yourself.
