Our open day event is coming up fast, so here’s an idea of what we will be up to.  We are going to have a member of staff from HLF telling us all about the work of HLF and the new All Our Stories funding stream.  Members of the Dig Where We Stand project team will be presenting workshops on:

  • working with young people
  • archaeological fieldwork
  • oral history and community archives
  • working with communities

We’ll also be finding out more about you!  What is your community heritage dream project ?  How can we help make your dream a reality?  If you haven’t booked yet, here is the address:
