Are you interested in the history and archaeology of the region? Look no further! Derbyshire Archaeology Day is an annual event celebrating the most recent and exciting archaeological discoveries, research and conservation projects from Derbyshire and the Peak District. Catch up on the latest scientific techniques and interesting stories from the region.
The format is a series of presentations on a wide range of topics, presented by archaeologists, historians and community groups. There are stalls hosted by archaeological organisations with opportunities to handle artefacts, and a fabulous bookshop selling general interest and academic books on all aspects of history, science, archaeology and conservation.
The Day is hosted by the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire County Council and Chesterfield Borough Council and is open to all.
ACID (Archaeology and Conservation in Derbyshire and the Peak District) is the long-running and popular heritage magazine which is launched every year at Derbyshire Archaeology Day. The organisers are fundraising to support publication of the 2025 issue following the loss of funding.
The organisers of this event ask attendees to consider making a donation to keep ACID alive. Please visit their Crowdfunding page for details.
