Celebrate the Festival of Archaeology at Greenway.
- Booking not needed

Agatha Christie and her husband Max Mallowan spent their days on archaeological digs, sharing a common love for the past. Inside the house, take a closer look at some of Agatha and Max's finds on their digs and the books inspired by them.
It's not just their finds which you can discover at Greenway though. Every where you look there are unusual and fascinating features that hint at Greenway's past. Pick up a free Heritage Explorer trail on your arrival and see what you can uncover around the garden.
