Peak District YAC
Peak District YAC is open to everyone aged 8 to 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.
Peak District YAC meets every month, except January and August, usually on the second Saturday between 10.30am and 12.30pm. We often meet in Matlock but also visit different venues around the Peak District depending on what activity we are doing that month. We have a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities, sometimes exploring a theme such as Ancient Egypt or Roman food, sometimes exploring archaeological methods such as building recording or excavation.
Subs are £30 for the whole year.
