How archaeology helped to decode Newark Park: an archaeology walk

Join a ticketed free outdoor guided walk and discover how archaeology has revealed some of the history of the house at Newark Park.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join a guide on a free walk and talk around the outside of the house at Newark Park and learn how archaeology reports have revealed the history behind the Tudor Hunting Lodge and how much we can see today. Find out how an archaeological dig changed our understanding of the terrace and which questions are still unanswered.
