Prehistoric Pioneers: a journey through life in Bronze Age Britain
This exciting exhibition explores the daily lives of our prehistoric ancestors. Discover their pioneering inventions, and a never-before-seen Bronze Age hoard recently discovered in County Durham. Explore life in ancient Britain, from warfare to rituals, and the way Bronze Age people buried weapons and treasure in hidden hoards. This exhibition gives a face to prehistoric people, and challenges the idea that these were ‘primitive’ cultures.

Durham 1569: A People’s Tragedy? - Public Lecture
Prof. Eamonn Duffy will give this public lecture. 1569 refers to the Northern Rebellion/"Rising of the Northern Earls", an event tied to the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth I by Pope Pius V in 1570, and arguably the decisive rupture between the Church of England and the Catholic Church in communion with the Bishop of Rome.
