Signs, symbols and marks: Blaise Festival of Archaeology - Bristol

Join museum staff, history buffs, re-enactors and field archaeologists for a fun-packed day full of tours, displays and archaeological activities.

Visit Blaise Castle House Museum and Estate to participate in Bristol’s Brilliant Archaeology, an archaeology celebration co-ordinated by Bristol Culture Team.

Medieval people, just like today, wanted to make their mark and actually left it all over St John on the Wall's Church: Heraldry on the walls, ceiling memorials even graffiti. Discover more about these signs, symbols and marks and be inspired to create your own using modern and traditional materials. 

Drop-in throughout the day, this activity is for 3 years and upwards.  N.B. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Other activities on the day will include:

• Mini excavations
• Crafts
• Dressing up
• Medieval feast
• Music
• Archaeological activities and lots more.
