Historic South Shields landmark set to host candlelit tours
Members of the public are invited to take part in a candlelit tour of a historic South Shields landmark.
A historic South Shields landmark is set to host twilight candlelit tours this winter.
Members of the public are invited to explore Arbeia Roman Fort by candlelight in on Saturday, December 12, to hear how the Romans lit up their homes.
The tours are led by Sue Balmer, Arbeia’s expert guide, and include time to explore the reconstructed Commanding Officer's House.
There will be time to ask Sue questions at the end of the tour over light refreshments, which include hot drinks and mince pies.
The candlelit tours are not suitable for under 12s and it is recommended that anyone taking part dresses warmly and for all weathers - with sensible shoes being a must.
The first tour will run from 4.30pm until 5.30pm and the second running from 6pm until 7pm.
Organisers have stated that places are limited and should be booked early to avoid disappointment.
