Join us for this year’s Festival of Archaeology, celebrating the theme of wellbeing! To encourage a sense of belonging and positivity, we are looking to the interesting stories found in the objects of Peterborough’s past.

Drop in to get hands-on with real objects and hear from our archaeology experts. Take part in drawing and building activities, to test your archaeologist skills. Enjoy learning about local finds and volunteering opportunities you could get involved in.
