Is your child interested in history and archaeology?500 years ago, Cardinal Wolsey ordered the dissolution of Lesnes Abbey. Its ruin has stood ever since, but how much more is there to find? Book now to help archaeologists find out…
Our spoilheap rummages are short, 30-minute sessions designed especially for primary school-aged children to get involved with the archaeological dig at Lesnes Abbey. They will run Thursday through Saturday 3.30pm-4pm.
Guided by one of our archaeologists, children will explore the spoilheaps, the piles of soil that have already been excavated, searching for artefacts that may have been missed during digging. Using small tools and sieves, they’ll dig through the soil to see what hidden treasures they can uncover.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the session
