Hallaton Crypt Reinstatement Project 2026

Hallaton is running its fifth Festival of Archaeology this year with our usual mixture of walks, talks and events.

The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 4.30pm where you can see displays about Bottle Kicking, the Hallaton Treasure with our replica Roman Helmet, the Ale Tales, and our new Hallaton Castle display. (see Displays & Exhibitions)

In the Church, we welcome visitors to the new St Morrell side chapel. This stunning chapel celebrates medieval pilgrimage to Hallaton and St Morrell’s great miracle, with wall paintings taken directly from his cathedral in Angers, where he was bishop from 430AD to 460AD.

The Café in the Church will be open on Sundays from 12pm to 4pm serving snacks, lunches and teas. 

Guided walks around the Hallaton Ale Trail and to Hallaton Castle, as well as a number of self-guided walks from the Museum (see Guided Walks & Tours) 

And evening talks by guest speakers Chris Close about finding the Lost Collyweston Palace (see Talks & Performances)
