Festival Of Archaeology AT Cheetham Park

Free event for the public. Run by TAS members to allow all ages to have a go at digging, washing finds, drawing, learning more about the history of the Park.

We are hoping to find one of the two halls in the park. Before the event we will be geophysics the area to try and find a suitable area to put trenches in to dig.

Bring a picnic, the park has beautiful areas to relax  but also places for the children to have fun.

Wear old clothes if you want to dig, it can get dirty.
