This year’s Festival of Archaeology at Llanerchaeron promises to be an exciting journey into the estate’s past. Archaeological finds will be on display inside the house, alongside a number of fascinating talks exploring the discoveries from three previous archaeological digs and what they reveal about everyday life at Llanerchaeron over the centuries. Young budding archaeologists can also get hands-on with a range of fun and interactive activities designed especially for them.For full details and timings, please visit Llanerchaeron’s website.

We invite you to join us from Saturday 4th July to Sunday 2nd August, and celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of Leicestershire and Rutland. Uncover the stories, sites, buildings, places and people that make our local communities special. Go to new places and revisit old ones, and discover and share the history and archaeology that is all around us!

The HistoryScapes * app aims to connect us to our landscapes and their social and cultural histories through immersive storytelling. Each trail is led by a historical guide character based on a real individual, all people who have left few traces in the archives. Their voices bring to life ordinary, often easily overlooked, perspectives. At Hindhead Commons we hear from George Mayes, one of about 50 people who still lived in the Devil's Punch Bowl in the early twentieth century.

Showcasing remarkable discoveries from prehistory through to the post-medieval times, Treasure! Lost and Found shines a light on Dorset’s extraordinary archaeological heritage. The exhibition reveals the captivating stories behind the artefacts on display — objects once prized by individuals and communities, later buried, forgotten, and hidden from sight for centuries, sometimes even millennia, before their rediscovery.

If you visit us at West Berkshire Museum throughout the Festival of Archaeology, please pick up a free family-friendly archaeology trail from the activity trolley in Gallery 1, on the ground floor. With it, you will explore the Museum's permanent exhibition, which tells the story of West Berkshire in chronological order.
