Festival of Archaeology at Wimpole Estate

Embark on a journey through time at Wimpole Estate during the Festival of Archaeology, running from July 13 to 28. Enjoy a free family archaeology trail and watch the experts from the Cambridge Archaeology Field Group (CAFG) unearth history with on-site excavations throughout the week. On the weekend of July 20 and 21 be sure to join us for our Festival of Archaeology celebration, where CAFG will have some of their discoveries for you to take a closer look at. There will also be a fascinating 'Have-A-Go' excavating family activity, as well as the opportunity to go beneath the surface in the archaeology store in the house's basement. Usually closed to the public, this is the perfect place to delve deeper into the different archaeological methods used to discover Wimpole’s past.
