Festival of Archaeology Behind the Scenes Tours

Saturday, July 22, 2023 

to Sunday, July 23, 2023

Salisbury Museum will be running exclusive Behind the Scenes Tours with Director Adrian Green over the Festival of Archaeology weekend.

Join Director Adrian Green on an exclusive tour of the museum’s major redevelopment project – Past Forward. This £5 million initiative involves the creation of new galleries dedicated to Salisbury’s history, new public facilities and the conservation of our grade I listed building. Work started in March with the strip out of the old gallery spaces which are now being prepared for the new displays.

This tour will be a unique opportunity to see areas that have been opened up for the first time in 40 years and experience the building transformation before the new displays are installed.

Past Forward has been funded with grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, a major gift from the Devenish Bradshaw family and grants from many trusts and foundations.

£12 Members; £15 Non-Members

There will be four tours over the festival weekend:

Saturday 22 July – 10:30am and 2:00pm

Sunday 23 July – 10:30am and 2:00pm
