An exciting opportunity for young people to uncover the heritage of the North Pennines. Based in Alston, Cumbria, the North Pennines Young Archaeologists’ Club is open to everyone aged 8–16 years and will usually meet on the second Saturday of each month, 10am to 1pm. The club has been formed by the North Pennines National Landscape team as part of the Land of Lead and Silver project. The project offers opportunities for people to get involved and discover unknown stories and features from the lead and silver mining history of the North Pennines National Landscape and UNESCO Global Geopark. The Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) is the only club for young people interested in archaeology. The network of local clubs across the UK offers 8 to 16 year olds the chance to get their hands mucky, participating in archaeology and discovering why it matters. The clubs explore all eras of human history, including the Romans, Vikings, Ancient Egyptians and Victorians, and members take part in all sorts of hands-on activities, such as investigating archaeological sites and historic places, taking part in excavations, and working with artefacts.
