Humber YAC

Humber 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. If you want to know more about how we recruit YAC volunteers and make sure children at YAC clubs are well looked after, check out our FAQs.

All indoor meetings will now take place in the Petuaria Centre, Centurion way, Brough and will begin at 9.30am with an 11.30am pick up time. Sessions cost £3 which covers the hire of the hall and includes a drink and a snack. However, we don’t wish this cost to be prohibitive so please message if the session price may cause a barrier to participation.
