'Join us for a FREE day full of archaeological activities for all of you interested in what might be buried beneath our feet!
There will be Archaeology talks (at 12noon, 1pm & 2pm) with our experts to celebrate the improvements to our Archaeology Gallery and for you to find out more about Swindon’s rich archaeological collection.
The Wiltshire Conservation and Museum Advisory Service will be on hand to showcase the skills and techniques they use to take care of archaeological collections. Try out some new skills like using x-rays to see through years of mud and corrosion…
You can also ‘get crafty’ with our free children’s workshop where you can make your own Roman Sword or spell your name out on a beaded Roman bracelet.
Cotswold Archaeology will also be with us on the day to identify any small finds you have hidden at home. Bring along any interesting artefacts you’ve unearthed and our experts may be able to tell you what it is.
And, if all of that wasn’t enough, Wessex Ulfolc, an early medieval reenactment group, will be with us, bringing history to life.

the children's activities were to make a Roman bracelet and to decorate a sword in a Crafty Roman workshop
Beads for the bracelets
and sparkly jewels for the sword decorating
and here are a couple of swords
outside refreshments from Coffee and Flowers along with some great house plants and flowers, they're a really interesting small Swindon based business.
