So much to see and do at Jarrow Hall this weekend in partnership with our friends from EXARN - Experimental Archaeology Newcastle.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCE DEMONSTRATIONS
Saturday & Sunday
Alicia Sawyer (EXARN-Newcastle University) will be present with archaeological science hands-on activities, involving the use of the optical microscope looking at archaeological and botanical samples. A little display about the archaeological experiments carried out by EXARN at Jarrow Hall has been set up for the occasion.

EXPERIMENTAL ARCHAEOLOGY
Sunday
Victoria Lucas, chair of the Experimental Archaeology Research Group from Newcastle University (EXARN) will demonstrate the use of an Anglo-Saxon glass-furnace and explain the last experimental research carried out at Jarrow Hall.

GUIDED MUSEUM TOURS
Saturday & Sunday
We offer guided tours of museum displays, exploring our local Anglo-Saxon heritage.

ANGLO-SAXON CRAFTS and FOOD
Saturday & Sunday
Our resident renactors wait for you in the Village to show ancient crafts and delicious recipes from the Anglo-saxon period.

HERB GARDEN
Saturday & Sunday
Our volunteers will tell you all about ancient recipes and remedies you could prepare using the same herbs you see in our Herb Garden.

SUGAR BLOWING
Saturday & Sunday
Why not try the glass-blowing technique using sugar without the risk of getting burnt?? The Education Team will show you how to do it!

EDUCATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGY
Saturday & Sunday
For the occasion, a brand-new educational archaeology corner has been set up on site, where children can become archaeologists for a day, excavating in our replica mini-dig, sieving soil and looking for precious long-lost artefacts, learn how to clean and reassemble them.

Closing the event, on Sunday 28th July at 2pm, EXARN experimental archaeologists will speak about their research at Jarrow Hall and screen their short documentary on Experimental Archaeology!
