Join the team for a celebration of archaeology on Sunday 16 July at South Marston Village Hall from 11am till 3pm as part of their ‘Swindon’s Archaeology in Context’ project.
This family friendly event will feature expert talks, fun activities and the chance to find out about Swindon’s archaeology, all as part of the 2017 Festival of Archaeology.
Co-ordinated by the Council for British Archaeology, the Festival offers hundreds of events nationwide, organised by museums, heritage organisations, national and country parks, universities, local societies, and community archaeologists. The 2017 Festival of Archaeology run between 15 - 30 July.
During the event you will be able to see and handle local archaeological finds, visit the ‘Bone Zone’ to learn how archaeologists use bones to find out about the past, try your hand at making a skeleton and many other activities.
While you are there you can chat to friendly staff who will tell you all about the museum and art gallery’s history and its collections and hear more about plans for a new museum and art gallery, all over a cuppa.
For further information please contact Nicki Western, Marketing Manager, 01793 466560 or email [email protected]
