A lot of fun was had at the Bakewell Country Festival this year. Aside from our pop-up museum, there were reenactments, armour displays and other demonstrations – including one of Iron Age smelting!

Thanks to everyone who came along and especially those who took part on the day. We can’t wait to see you again next year.

Our appearance here was part of the Council for British Archaeology’s ‘Festival of Archaeology’, which runs until Sunday 28th July. To find out more, and see what other activities are still to come this weekend, visit their website here.
