Council for British Archaeology, the 2015 Festival is offering over 1,000
events nationwide, organised by museums, heritage organisations, national and

A celebration of our
incredible history
This Festival is a huge
celebration of our incredible history here in the UK, and you don’t have to be
an archaeologist to join in.
It’s a chance for
everyone to explore and uncover the past, see archaeology in action, and bring
the history on your doorstep to life.
Activities include talks
or lectures, finds identification or archaeological skills, re-enactments or
demonstrations, exhibitions or displays and guided walks or tours.
History periods covered
include Prehistory, the Romans, Saxons and Vikings through the Medieval period
to the Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians and Victorians to the 20th and 21st Century.
