On the ground

Tattershall Castle - Digging Up The Past

10:30 AM

For this years Festival of Archaeology, visit Tattershall Castle, and learn about a magnificent 800 year history.

During your visit, you will be able to discover artefacts which were uncovered during the castle's restoration in the early 1900s, and you will be able to hear talks from trained artefact handlers on how archaeologists work with, and learn from, what they excavate.

If you are up for a bit of walking, you could also do our Archaeology Walk. This ten point 1.2 mile (1.92km) walk takes in the wider estate of Ralph's Cromwell's Tattershall Castle, and provides further information on the scale and importance of the site during the 1400s, as well as its archaeological significance today.

For those younger minds, there will be archaeology themed activities available in the castle, as well as our Annoyed Archaeologist trail in the castle grounds. During preparations for this year's Festival of Archaeology, ten artefacts went missing in the castle grounds, and Albert the Archaeologist needs the help of some younger minds to find them.
