The theme for the 2026 CBA Festival of Archaeology is “Archaeology and Nature”. The Festival will take place across the UK from Saturday 18th July to Sunday 2nd August. There will also be an opportunity to visit the Thornborough henges (details below):
This year TAG is making its most ambitious contribution yet to the CBA Festival of Archaeology. On Saturday 18th July, we are providing our 'gateway event', consisting of a talk, Q&A, artefact handling, and then a tour of the Thornborough henges. This event is ideal to anyone who wants an informed and up-to-date overview of Thornborough. A week later, on Saturday 25th July, we are getting together again, to provide a deep dive into the theme of henges and nature. This event, co-organised with English Heritage and Manchester Metropolitan University, consists of a number of talks, and provides the perfect opportunity for you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the British Neolithic, and in particular, its henges. Moreover, English Heritage and TAG will have their own 'stands' there, so there will be plenty of opportunity to talk to archaeologists and heritage professionals. Tickets for these events can be purchased by clicking on the links below. Thank you. (Jan Harding)
