Calling all young explorers and history enthusiasts! Step into the shoes of a real archaeologist at Queen Street Mill as we celebrate the National Festival of Archaeology.
Join us in the Archaeology Lab - the perfect place for budding archaeologists aged 5-12, and anyone curious about the mysteries beneath the ground! Get ready to dig up interesting objects and discover the secrets they hold, then learn how to carefully clean, investigate, record, and preserve your finds, just like professional archaeologists do.
Once you've carefully bagged and stored your discoveries, the adventure continues! Your ticket also includes full admission to the museum, so after your time in the lab, you're free to explore the rest of Queen Street Mill. Don't miss the live machinery demonstrations—see the original looms in action and experience the sights and sounds of Lancashire's industrial past. It's a day of discovery, history, and hands-on fun for the whole family. Don't miss this chance to uncover history and ignite your passion for archaeology at Queen Street Mill!
Queen Street Mill is part of Lancashire County Museum Service and Lancashire County Council's Cultural Services.
