Event Calendar

To mark the bicentenary of the RNLI, Royal Museums Greenwich is hosting an exhibition celebrating the vital role that women have played in saving lives at sea.

This display at the Peter Harrison Planetarium celebrates Earth’s outstanding natural beauty and creates a vibrant colour-scape centred around our planet through astrophotography, audio-visual and interactive elements.

The world, its peoples and environments are connected and interdependent. From the smallest bacteria to the largest ocean whale; there exists a link between all things. In a world out of balance, We Are Guardians looks at how ecosystems are intrinsically connected and with the increasing use of Satellite Monitoring, examines the links between human activities and climate change.

After two successful years excavating in the grounds of Willow House, the time feels right for a new adventure as we move to School Green.

Bainbridge Excavation Week, Wensleydale, Yorkshire (5 day event) 22nd- 27th September 2024 Join Mercian Archaeological Services CIC in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for this week-long excavation, in Bainbridge. The beautiful village of Bainbridge was formerly the administrative centre of the medieval forest of Wensleydale, and the magnificent Bolton Castle near Leyburn dominates the valley to the east. A Roman fort looms large over the village on the eastern side. The site of the excavation is overlooked by a late Bronze Age to early Iron Age slight univallate hillfort. This fort occupies the high ground at the top of a steep slope on the southern side of the site. The area is famous not only for its beautiful landscape, but also its world-famous cheese, and as the backdrop to the television series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. (Please note accommodation and food are not included). £350 per person. Please Email [email protected] for details and to book your place(s). Hosted by Merican Archaeological Society CIC.
