ROMANS will be invading a Cheshire village next month.

The Marbury Merry Days annual country fair is celebrating its 32nd year of fundraising for St Michael & All Angels Church, in Marbury, with a packed programme of events.

Among the attractions will be an art exhibition, flower displays and an appearance from Chester based Roman display team, Deva Victrix.

Children will be able to enrol in the Roman Army for the day, learn how to march and fight, and performances by the Ya-raq Arabian Dancers will also be featured.

The events will take place over the weekend of May 14 and 15, from 1pm.
