The Festival of Leicestershire and Rutland Archaeology, part of the Council for British Archaeology’s national Festival of Archaeology, is back!
This year, the theme is ‘archaeology and wellbeing’. Archaeology is a wonderful way to improve wellbeing. Spend time outdoors, take a mindful moment to study an amazing object, learn a new skill, spend time with other people or volunteer with a local group. The Festival of Archaeology provides opportunities for everyone to give, be active, learn, take notice and connect!
This July, celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of Leicestershire and Rutland. Uncover the stories, sites, buildings, places and people that make our local communities special. Go to new places and revisit old one. Discover and share the history and archaeology that is all around us.
Get out and explore your local community!
