Nearby Festival of British Archaeology

 
 
Festival of British ArchaeologyGet to grips with London's local heritage and see archaeology in action at the Festival of British Archaeology, a nationwide festival which includes special events taking place all over London. At the Museum of London, for example, there's a whole variety of activities including a special weekend of events on 24th and 25th July when you can get a curator-led tour around the remains of part of Roman London's fort dating back to around AD200. You can be an osteologist for the day and discover how human skeletons are analysed, revealing important information about how they lived. Many other London landmarks and museums are taking part including the Tower Of London, the Cuming Museum - who are offering a free 'morning of discovery' session for under fives (10am to 11.15am, Thursday 15th July) - and the Rose Theatre, the first Elizabethan theatre on Bankside. Head to Museum of Richmond for a hands-on drop-in workshop led by experts from the Richmond Archaeological Society, or learn how an ancient Egyptian obelisk from 1450 BC came to be on the Thames (contact the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology on 020 7679 4138 for details). Digging up the past, the Festival of British Archaeology promises to reveal there's more under your feet than mere concrete and soil.
