Junior archaeologists: Neolithic pottery workshop at Clitheroe Castle
Join the Festival of Archaeology 2025. Discover the prehistoric past through pottery and make your own coil pot to take home.
Celebrate the Festival of Archaeology 2025 and book your young archaeologists (age 7+) onto one of our kid's activities.
Discover the prehistoric past through pottery. Get messy with some clay and learn about the invention of pottery from thumb pots to coil pots. Look at designs and replicate using sticks, stamps and fingernails.
Each young archaeologist will take their coil pot home and receive their very own certificate to take away, too!
