Cornwall YAC
Cornwall YAC is open to everyone aged 8–16 years. YAC clubs get involved in all sorts of activities, including visiting and investigating archaeological sites and historic places, trying out traditional crafts, taking part in excavations, and lots more.
Cornwall YAC meets once a month and is based at the Museum of Cornish Life in Helston during the winter months, but meets various venues for archaeological activities throughout the year.

Join us for our next event on Saturday 24th January, 10am-2pm
This event will be a fun day learning about prehistory, bones and have an artefact handling workshop run by senior archaeologist at Cornwall Archaeological Unit and YAC branch assistant, James Gossip, and Activities officer for Cornwall National Landscape and YAC co-branch leader, Iain Rowe. Jo Moran, site supervisor for Meneage Archaeology Group and YAC branch assistant, will be running an Iron Age drawing workshop, where you can learn about how the people from the Iron Age drew their surroundings, and draw some yourselves! There will also be an opportunity to have a tour of Kresen Kernow.
It is open to both members and non-members. Activities are aimed at 8–16-year-olds, but younger budding historians and archaeologists are welcome to come along with their parents.
