The Yorkshire Wolds Heritage Showcase
Saturday 27th October 2018, 9.45 - 16:30
The Milton Rooms, Market Place, Malton YO17 7LX
Ticket Price: £5 - refreshments and lunch included
Come and celebrate the amazingly rich heritage of the Yorkshire Wolds at this very special Showcase event. The day is an opportunity to share what we know about the Wolds, one of the most important archaeological landscapes in Britain for its quality and richness. Equally famed for its peaceful landscapes and unique wildlife, the Yorkshire Wolds is a fantastic place to live, work and visit. Ever wondered what local archaeology, history, metal detecting, geology or even ornithology groups have been discovering about their local landscape? This is a chance to share knowledge about the Yorkshire Wolds and celebrate community-led initiatives to find out more.
The day is designed to encourage anybody with something to say about the Yorkshire Wolds to come together, to share their work and learn about what others are doing in the area. You can either sit, listen and enjoy the day or you could choose to share what you have been doing by giving a 10 min talk. Those sharing will have a 5 slide template to follow and we will be sticking to the time slots to keep the day interesting and give everyone a chance to speak!
Please book your ticket online at yat.digitickets.co.uk/category/15701
Or call the York Archaeological Trust reservation team on 01904 615505
Once you have booked your place and decided you would like to share your work on the day, please email Claire Corkhill on chair@CBA-Yorkshire.org.uk with a brief description of what you would like to talk about. Once we have received everyone’s applications, we will be in touch by Friday 12th October to let you know if you will be speaking on the day.
This event is being run by The Council for British Archaeology - Yorkshire and The York Archaeological Trust as part of the Food for Thought project. York Archaeological Trust are working with Historic England and other partners to find out how to develop the heritage potential of the Yorkshire Wolds and its unique farming landscape.

People have lived and farmed the area for thousands of years. They have left behind many prehistoric monuments, settlements, chariot burials, Roman villas, deserted medieval villages and Anglian cemeteries. The quality of these sites can compete with any in the country for richness and importance.
