Archaeology Workshops at Beeston Library

York Archaeology archaeologists will be hosting a series of workshops consisting of a number of activities that reflect the work archaeologists do both on and off site. The workshops will start with a brief presentation about what we do on site and a finds handling session. The rest of the workshop will consist of hands-on activities that will include:

• Hand planning and site recording
• Finds identification
• Finds washing
• Clay pot making
• Photogrammetry and photography

There are two 90-minute sessions on Wednesday 18 February at Beston Library: 10am, 12pm and 2pm.

This event is suitable for families with children aged 10+. When booking your tickets, please include all adults and children attending.

About FOSAC

This event is part of Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity (FOSAC), running from Monday 9 - Friday 20 February 2026.

Each year FOSAC invites the people of Nottinghamshire to explore, experiment and examine; to be curious, to ask questions, and to seek answers about the world around us, and this year is no different! We have lots of free events, including drop-in and ticketed sessions, happening across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Find out more via our website.
