We are the only YAC club in London at a scheduled ancient monument and site of significant archaeology! From handling historical artefacts and meeting archaeologists to learning traditional crafts, YAC offers the chance to get involved with real archaeology while gaining skills and making friends! From investigating historical poo to taking part in a real archaeological dig at Fulham Palace, each session has its own exciting topic to discover all designed to help young people develop new skills, build confidence and bring history to life.
