Be transported back through time for a day of digging, discovering and getting your hands dirty in the world of archaeology! Join us at Earth Trust for an exciting all-day family event packed with hands-on activities, fascinating finds, and ancient stories.
Together you'll explore what lies beneath your feet with a guided archaeology tour including a real metal detector hunt and the chance to handle genuine artefacts. 
Then dive into a series of engaging volunteer-led stations where young archaeologists can:
Examine ancient poo to uncover secrets of the past
Test and explore different types of soil
Discover the world of zoo archaeology and the clues left by animal bones
Create pottery inspired by ancient designs
Make your own historic coins
Get stuck in with a test pit dig
After a relaxed lunch break at the Earth Trust Centre, the adventure continues with a second archaeology session to make sure everyone gets to explore each activity station.
We’ll end the day gathered around the firepit to taste some ancient-style foods and hear a folktale from long ago.
This is a one-off event for curious young minds and budding archaeologists—don’t miss your chance to uncover history!
