Learn about archaeology at Hartlebury Castle's County Museum

 

HARTLEBURY Castle's County Museum is to host a family friendly archaeology themed day as part of the national Festival of Archaeology.

'Dig It!' will run between 11am and 4pm on Sunday (July 16) and promises to be great family fun with lots of hands on activities.

Families can have a go at metal detecting and learn how to use a trowel to dig for archaeological finds.

Youngsters can also enjoy making fossil imprints in clay to take home and all visitors can try looking through microscopes with an archaeologist to identify different seeds and find out more about the lives of people in the past.

Pippa Ashmore, museum events officer, said: "If you have always wondered what it is like to be a real archaeologist come and get hands on with history and help the museum celebrate the national Festival of Archaeology."

For more information, call the County Museum on 01299 250416 or visit museumsworcestershire.org.uk.
