Festival of Archaeology at Brean Down
Join us for a weekend of history at Brean Down and explore its fascinating past, stretching back over 10,000 years.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Get involved with lots of exciting activities which will bring different chapters of the Down's history to life, including searching for pottery remains at the site of the Roman temple, dressing up as an officer at the World War II fort and having a go at our bouncing bomb experiment game.
