How do I enter?

In 2024 we did an impact study looking back at the last five years of the Festival of Archaeology and one of the areas we looked at was the number of events and opportunities people had to engage with archaeology from 2020-2024. We would like you to guess how many events have been held across the UK during the Festival of Archaeology during that period. 

To enter, all you need to do is submit your answer and contact details via the form below.
