People using metal detectors unearth most of these\, but chance finds are also made by those out walking\, digging in their gardens\, or just out and about in the countryside. \nIn the past\, very little of this material was recorded by museums or archaeologists\, and lots of important information was lost. Now\, under the Portable Antiquities Scheme\, events are held around the country where finds can be brought in and help given with identification. \nClaire Pinder\, Dorset Council’s Senior Archaeologist\, and Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen\, Finds Liaison Officer for Dorset\, will be available to answer your questions about Dorset’s Historic Environment and identify your finds. By appointment only from 10 – 11:40 am; please contact her@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk or finds@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk. Drop-ins are welcome from 12 am to 1 pm.

Wine\, beer\, soft drinks and delicious homemade food are available to buy\, and we are able to take cash or card payments. There may also be entertainment from our resident musicians\, Clara and Colin. \nThis month’s theme is “Summer Picnic”: think quiches\, salads\, sandwiches and sausage rolls. \nThese events take place from June to September (weather permitting) on the Last Friday of the month\, starting at 6:30. Although we have some shelter in the Garden\, the Last Friday event will not take place if the weather is particularly unpleasant. But it’s looking good for this evening! (Updated 31/7).
