Welcome to the CBA Festival of British Archaeology, the annual extravaganza of heritage events coordinated by the Council for British Archaeology.

Each year the Festival showcases the very best of British archaeology, by presenting hundreds of special events organised and held by museums, local societies, national and countryside parks, universities, and heritage organisations across the UK. The Festival presents everyone the opportunity to learn about their local heritage, to see archaeology in action, and to get involved.
