The Big Dig Timahoe Heritage Festival
1st June @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Throughout the day we will be exploring the past through our Viking House excavation workshop – The Big Dig. This innovative product allows children to explore the Viking world through a simulated and controlled archaeology dig. Children have an opportunity to experience what it is like to be an archaeologist by learning how to excavate the remains of a Viking house. They will have an opportunity to dig for Viking treasures and artefacts dating back over 1000 years and learn about our Viking ancestors through the eyes of real archaeologists.
