Bristol’s brilliant archaeology festival

Join us and a whole host of local societies, heritage organisations, re-enactors and field archaeologists as we bring archaeology to you!

Find out what archaeologists get up all day in Dig the day job, our mini-series of family friendly short films. Get creative with our easy family activities – Artyfacts: archaeological things to make and do and go on an adventure with our team of Vikings, Romans and survival school specialists in our Tips for time travellers films.

Test whether you know your trowel from your topsoil with our Online archaeological quizzes. Take on Bristol Libraries’ archaeology inspired Lego challenge on Monday 13 July at 11am.

Put your cooking skills to the test and recreate Iron Age oatcakes, Roman honey cake and other tasty treats with our Instagram recipes. You can also check out our Digital dig Instagram stories and our Digital dig board.

Join our special Festival of Archaeology online talks to find out about the latest archaeological discoveries and explore UWE Regional History Centre’s archives on archaeology in the South West, which are free to all for the duration the festival.
