National Archaeology Week - UK

Posted by Rachel Bellerby Jun 30, 2008

National Archaeology Week aims to put the spotlight on British archaeology and involve the public in discovering the past. There are more than 400 events planned, including workshops, exhibitions, lectures and family fun days.

The event is run by the Council for British Archaeology and will cover the full spectrum of UK history. The CBA website features a programme of events for the week with a search facility to highlight events by region.

Activities of interests to medievalists include fieldwork at a medieval settlement in the Mendip Hills, an opportunity to create medieval gargoyles from clay in Brighton and a talk on the early Anglo-Saxons in Loughborough.

Most events need to be pre-booked and there is free entry to many of the activities.
