We have also prepared fun for our youngest visitors during the Festival of Archaeology

A free play session for children 0-5 years old will be held at The Beacon in Cliffe Castle Park from 10.30 am until 12.30 pm.

In this amazing space, children can explore a world of hands-on activities that spark curiosity and imagination.

Dig into kinetic sand to uncover mysterious objects, crack open frozen dinosaur eggs, and take part in archaeological adventures through interactive projector games.
