Exciting stories at the Festival of Archaeology The UK’s biggest archaeological event, the Festival of Archaeology will be running from 15 to 30 July and this year’s theme is Archaeology and Creativity.

Archaeology is about storytelling and archaeologists use creative practices such as art, music, creative writing, poetry and theatre to bring to life the material we uncover and the stories of the places and people around us. Through nationwide digital and onsite events, archaeological experts will help families discover how their local landscape has changed and shaped to become what it is now, as well as discover exciting stories about their local community. Join educational guided walks, listen to talks, get involved with exciting archaeological excavations, or join digitally online through social media and discover more about your local area.
