Brighton and Hove Archaeology Society - 2026 Day-schools
The Day-schools are held at the Patcham Community Centre, Ladies Mile Road, Patcham, Brighton BN1 8TA
Each class will cost £25. If you book four of the classes then you will get £10 off the fourth class. A register will be kept so that you do not have to book all at one go. Payment will be by cheque or BACS (details of BHAS bank will be given on booking).
These are the proposed classes for 2026 and further details will follow later as some are still in the planning stage. The dates and information of the topics will help people plan ahead.

Brighton Young Archaeologists' Club (YAC) is open to everyone aged 8-16years. You can get involved in all sorts of activities, including visiting and investigating archaeological sites and historic places, trying out traditional crafts, taking part in excavations, experimental archaeology and lots more.
