Join the Kids’ Dig at Stonehenge
English Heritage invites families to join them at Stonehenge this summer for Kids’ Dig, a fun archaeology activity.
Budding archaeologists are invited to try their hand at unearthing the past in Stonehenge’s special excavation sandboxes, using a selection of archaeologists’ tools. Replica artefacts from across the centuries are ready to be found, giving children the chance to get excited about the past and learn more about the history of Stonehenge through the things that have been left behind. The visiting antiquarian archaeologist and their assistants will be on hand to reveal the stories behind the pottery, tools and treasures, and what place they have in the story of Stonehenge.
After making some exciting archaeological discoveries, pick up a free Summer Explorer Quest sheet, check out the Neolithic Houses and chat to the friendly English Heritage volunteers to find out what everyday life was like for the people of Stonehenge. Test your strength at the pulling stone before picking up some lunch and setting off to the stones to enjoy a picnic with one of the most iconic views in the world.
