> Whether dressing up as a Roman soldier, making prehistoric tools,
> discovering amazing artefacts, taking part in an excavation or preparing a
> medieval banquet, the hands-on nature of the National Archaeology Days is
> sure to appeal to all the family. Organised by the Council for British
> Archaeology and its Young Archaeologists' Club - and supported by English
> Heritage and Thames Water - the aim of National Archaeology Days is to
> interest both the young and not so young in the fascinating subject of
> archaeology.
>
> Last year's event saw over 150 sites taking part, attracting around 45,000
> visitors! There is still plenty of time to organise an event and promote
> your venue for free!!
