1990–2010: Celebrating 20 Years of Archaeology for Everyone!

Festival of British Archaeology 2011: Saturday 16th to Sunday 31st July

Welcome to the 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.

Events ranging from excavation open days and behind-the-scenes tours to family fun days, hands-on activities, guided walks, talks and finds identification workshops take place all over the UK during this special fortnight.

Find us on Facebook!

The celebrations for 2010 are now over but preparations are underway for the Festival 2011! Event details will go live from Spring 2011.
