Making ancient incense blends

Make a Roman-style incense mixture from fragrant herbs, woods and resins. From 6 years.

The Romans were aware of the influence of fragrant substances on health and used incense rituals to connect with the divine. Which fragrances were used and where did they come from?

Herbs, resins and woods are processed into ancient incense mixtures using a grater and pestle. At the end, you can take your own mixtures home with you, including lots of tips on how to use them.

For everyone aged 6 and over. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
