Walks, Talks, Courses and Events
A list of the various educational services supported and
provided by Chester Archaeology.
Full-time courses
Archaeology is now available to degree level as a minor, equal
and major subject in the BA Honours (Combined Subjects) programme
at Chester College. Chester
Archaeology staff make a major contribution to the teaching of this
course
National Archaeology Day and Heritage Open Day
Each July and September we organise a variety of family
activities in support of these national events, which are intended
to promote awareness of our heritage. This is your chance to meet
our staff and find out how archaeologists work. Admission is
normally free. Details are available at the Grosvenor Museum and
are advertised in the local press a few weeks in advance.
Walks and talks
In addition to the pre-arranged lectures advertised in 'What's
on in heritage', staff are happy to give talks and guided tours to
societies and groups on request. These can be tailored to suit the
occasion and the audience. To make a booking, please contact
whichever member of staff seems appropriate to your interests. We
should prefer at least two months' notice. We normally charge a fee
for this service (currently £35 for an hour's talk, plus
expenses).
