Join us this October for two captivating evenings with one of historical fiction's most acclaimed writers, Ben Kane, as part of our celebrations for the 'Gladiators of Britain' exhibition at Grosvenor Museum.

Kenya born, Irish by blood and UK resident, Ben Kane's passion for history has taken him to more than 60 countries and all 7 continents. He has walked hundreds of miles in Roman military gear, including Hadrian's Wall, and is known to lead history tours in Italy and Germany. Eleven of his nineteen novels have been Sunday Times Top Ten bestsellers. Published in fifteen countries, he has sold more than two million books worldwide.

Explore the extraordinary true story of Spartacus, the Thracian gladiator who led the most famous slave revolt in Roman history. Ben will discuss his acclaimed Spartacus novels (The Gladiator and Rebellion) and reveal the historical research behind this legendary tale of courage and defiance.

As a special bonus at the Northwich event, attendees will have the opportunity to view a travelling display of Roman artefacts, including a Roman flagon, roof tiles, bowl, amphora neck, and a statuette of Venus.

Books will be available for purchase and signing by Ben Kane.
