Festival of Archaeology: Archaeology and Wellbeing

Join us as we celebrate this year’s Festival of Archaeology with the inspiring theme of Archaeology and Wellbeing. Set against the backdrop of our beautiful site, this special event invites you to explore how people in the past found meaning, balance, and calm in everyday life.

Get hands-on with ancient crafts, from pottery to chalk carving and more, and discover how these traditional skills can connect us to the past - and to ourselves. Through immersive activities, we’ll explore the role of mindfulness, ritual, and creativity in ancient communities, and how these practices can still support wellbeing today.

Reconnect, relax, and uncover the healing power of heritage at Butser Ancient Farm.
