Love Digging for Britain or perhaps have a budding archaeologist in your family? If so, join us for Dig It! - our archaeology discovery day.
Supported by Oxford Archaeology, you can meet the archaeologists as well as try out a range of hands-on activities suitable for all ages.
Have a go at excavating and crafts and take a look at local archaeological finds and discover the stories behind them. This year there will also be a finds identification team so bring your local finds to discover more about them.
For Scouts and Brownies wanting to do their archaeology badges, the Cambridgeshire Scouts Archaeology Squad will also be here to support the event.
No pre-booking required. Included with your standard museum admission or a valid annual pass.
