This festival is the highlight of the year at Butser Ancient Farm. The Legion will be manning the Villa and leading the procession of the torchbearer to the Wicker Man before a lucky visitor gets to set light to the 7 metre high statue.
To quote Julius Caesar – “…alii immani magnitudine simulacra habent, quorum contexta viminibus membra vivis hominibus complent; quibus succensis circumventi flamma exanimantur homines.”.
