What is it about?
The Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) is the only UK wide Club for children aged 8 -16 dedicated to archaeology. With 3,000 UK members and over 70 branches, it is known as one of the fastest growing youth organisations in the UK. The underlying ethos of the Club is for children to learn about the past whilst having fun.
What members receive…
On joining the club, UK members receive:
- Colour Quarterly Magazine full of news, features and competitions.
- Access to the Discounted Site Scheme, which gives members the opportunity to visit sites and museums either free or at a reduced rate.
- Access to archaeological activity holidays.
- Information about the Young Archaeologist of the Year Award and National Archaeology Days
There are also over 70 branches, or archaeological youth clubs, where children get hands on experience of archaeology, doing anything from excavation through to experimental archaeology and designing museum exhibitions.
