Everyone is welcome to join free, family friendly archaeology events this August.

With photos and exhibits, a discovery sand pit and a chance to dress up as an engineer or an archaeologist, there’s fact finding fun for everyone.

What’s happening?

 

The York Central Partnership, in collaboration with infrastructure contractors, John Sisk and Son Ltd and archaeology consultants Tetra Tech and On-Site Archaeology, invite you to drop into York Central this August to uncover some of the interesting things found so far on site.
