On Monday 20th July children will have a chance to find out how the Anglo-Saxons lived and died, as part of the Festival of Leicestershire Archaeology.
‘Anglo-Saxon Life’ features costume, games and pottery making, and demonstrations of how the Anglo-Saxons buried their dead. This will be delivered by Leicestershire County Council Heritage Service archaeology staff, who will be on hand to show visitors real Anglo-Saxon objects from Leicestershire.
‘Anglo-Saxon Life’ is on Monday 20th July. There are 4 one hour long sessions starting at 10.15am, 11.45am, 1.30pm and 3pm at Charnwood Museum, Granby Street, Loughborough. A session costs £2 and can be booked at the museum or by phoning 01509 233754. Booking is essential.
Other events in Loughborough are ‘History Detectives’ from 11am – 3pm on Saturday July 18th and ‘Identification Day’ from 11am to 3pm on Saturday 25th July, both at the Old Rectory Museum.
The full programme for the Festival can be found in leaflets available at museums and libraries or on the internet at www.leics.gov.uk/charnwood_museum.
