From Anglo-Saxon origins to medieval bell-casting, come and learn about the extraordinary findings of the College Hall Undercroft excavation at Worcester Cathedral. This event sees the re-launch of the traditional annual symposium to coincide with the Festival of Archaeology. style=""> The symposium will focus on a single narrow trench that was opened in 2019 across College Green to bring pipework into the new Education Centre in the Undercroft. The archaeology in this small trench was so complex and exceptional that it allows us to write the early pages of Worcester Cathedral’s history.
Join us in the Abbot's Kitchen of the Old Bishop's Palace in-person (day ticket £30 with lunch) or remotely (£10 to live stream - link to follow). Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day, with a semi-seated lunch of sandwiches etc.
If you booked and paid to attend the 2020 symposium which was unfortunately cancelled, please email and we will issue a refund against this year’s ticket price.
Funds raised through this event will support the Cathedral’s ongoing running and renovation costs, wherever those funds can be most effective.
