Junior Archaeologists

As part of the 2026 Marlborough Heritage Festival, bring the kids down to the Edwin Fox Maritime Museum for a hands-on archaeology experience! Kids can dig, discover, and piece together clues to uncover what their finds can tell us about the past. Along the way, they’ll learn that archaeology isn’t just about uncovering objects; it’s about carefully observing, recording, and interpreting artefacts to understand how people lived many years ago.

This drop-in activity encourages curiosity, observation, and a little detective work — just like a real archaeologist.

Kids free with a paying adult ($15).

Also Sunday 17th 10am to 2pm.
