About the World Archaeology Festival...

"We've been coming to the festival for a couple of years now and have great fun each year - there's so much to do and see both for kids and adults. We always come home with armfuls of things that we've all made from shabtis to scrapers and shields to mosaics! Last year we came with our local Young Archaeologists' Club and their families and we had such a good time that we've made it an official day out this year. Can't recommend it highly enough!"

- Tess Machling and family, attendee 2013 and 2014

"A lovely way to spend the morning!"

Her son, unprompted said, “that was really fun!"

- Trail Tester Elise and Family, 2015
