Summer Quest: Reverse the Curse at The Roman Baths

Welcome to the Roman Baths… where things are not always as they seem. In Roman Britain, this was the place to relax, socialise, do business, and, if needed, call down divine revenge on your enemies. Worshippers would write curses on lead tablets and throw them into the sacred spring, asking the goddess Sulis Minerva to punish wrongdoers. But… what if you changed your mind? Your mission is simple (well… not that simple): reverse the curse – if you can. 18 July to 31 August. The Roman Baths, Abbey Church Yard, Bath, BA1 1LZ
