Did you know that there were only three permanent Roman legionary fortresses in Britain?

Roman expansion into Britain began under Julius Caesar with a full conquest undertaken in AD 43 under Emperor Claudius. Throughout the Roman occupation of the British Isles there were only three permanent fortresses - Caerleon Isca Augusta, Chester Deva Victrix and York Eboracum.

These legions also helped build parts of Hadrian's way!

To find out more about Roman Britain, join us on 'Pre-conquest York'. More information available on our website.

On your marks…get set…paint!

Did you know that art used to be an Olympic sport?

In ancient Greece, art was featured alongside athletics, music and poetry to showcase the pinnacle of human achievement. It was briefly revived in the modern Olympics from 1912 to 1948.

Often called the ‘Olympics of the art world’, The Venice Biennale is a prestigious, international event exhibiting contemporary art from around the world – a global showcase.

Similar to the Olympics, countries will send artistic representatives to create imaginative displays in dedicated spaces.

Join art historian and expert Tour Director Joshua White and become immersed in renowned modern and contemporary art on a number of ACE tours in 2027. Visit our website for more details.

Happy World Heritage Day!

This year’s theme, ‘Emergency Response for Living Heritage in contexts of Conflicts and Disasters’, invites us to reflect on how heritage can be safeguarded in times of challenge. It also encourages us to consider how the places we visit and the communities who care for them can be supported to sustain their living traditions.

Visit our website to find out about our projects that support individuals and places at destinations that we visit.
