Cambridgeshire Archaeology is delighted to launch its 2012 public events programme. Each year in partnership with a host of both public, private and voluntary organisations including the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), Cambridge Past, Present and Future (CPPF) and Oxford Archaeology East (OAE), we provide a programme of guided walks, activity events and finds identification days throughout the county. For further details on any of the events you can contact us using the details to the right side of this page.
This year we are concentrating on what makes Cambridgeshire’s heritage so special and the stories that it can tell. We have teamed up with the BBC for the Great Cambridgeshire Story, part of their Great British Story: A People’s History.
We have joined in with the Festival of Archaeology, run by the Council for British Archaeology, in July, including a day of events along the Guided Busway between Cambridge and St Ives, looking at the stories of the communities along the route.
We are also taking part in Heritage Open Days/Open Cambridge in September, when heritage sites not normally accessible to the public are opened up; we are opening the Council’s nuclear bunker. Now partially used for archaeological storage, it is a relic of the Cold War with a story that needs to be told.
