I WOULD like to appeal to businesses across Cheshire to help bring Roman history to life by pledging support to a souvenir programme.

We are asking people to sponsor space in an event guide that is being produced to commemorate the second Roman Festival in Middlewich on September 27 and 28 at Harbutt's Field.

We'd like pubs, restaurants, hotels, shops, schools, offices businesses and other organisations to get involved. They can advertise their company or publicise their events in our programme, such as a Roman theme night with gladiator costumes or even authentic food and wine.

There will be thousands of visitors coming to the town for the event and so it's a great opportunity for business people to get extra customers through the door and boost their profile.

To be part of the souvenir programme, please call Dave Thompson on 01606 836896 after 7pm.

DAVE THOMPSON

Assistant Manager of Middlewich Roman Festival
