CBA Festival of Archaeology
When? 13 Jul 2024 to 28 Jul 2024
Where? Dorset Museum & Art Gallery - Dorchester
Co-ordinated by the Council for British Archaeology, the Festival offers hundreds of events nationwide, organised by museums, heritage organisations, national and country parks, universities, local societies, and community archaeologists.
This year our Festival of Archaeology theme will be Archaeology and Community
The Council for British Archaeology (CBA) will be celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2024 – the perfect opportunity for us all to celebrate the incredible grassroots groups, societies and individuals that share a passion for archaeology across the UK.
At its heart, archaeology is all about people and how we explore and interpret the past through the lens of the present day. Archaeology has the unique ability to bring people from all walks of life together through our shared sense of community – what it meant in the past, what it means to us now, and how we can shape our future.
Dorset Museum & Art Gallery has a plan of activities, tours, and talks during the festival. This is an amazing opportunity to learn more about the fascinating history of our county and explore the wonders of the past.
