Many families had the opportunity to try our interactive media and puzzles 🏺, learn about the methods archaeologists use 🔬, and even handle real artefacts. Thanks to everyone who came to say hello and thank you to Lepe Country Park for having us!

We were thrilled to be part of the Wildlife Wonders event at Lepe Country Park - Hampshire County Council last week and to welcome so many of you aboard the Discovery Bus.

Recently, we have been at Buckler's Hard with the Bucklers Hard Shipyard Trust, where the team has been uncovering the secrets of the slipways.

A Welsh staff member will be a part of the team at the event so come and say hello in whichever language you prefer! #archaeology #maritimearchaeology #handsonheritage #heritage #maritimeheritage #outreach #Tenby
