Brought to Light by the Spade – Archaeologists, Artists & Poets
Date and time
Join us for this special evening event at Weston Park Museum with archaeologists, artists and poets in conversation.
About this event
Join Professor Bob Johnston from the University of Sheffield and the Peak District National Park’s archaeologist, Anna Badcock, to explore some of the fascinating stories behind the Bateman collection, Bronze Age burials and grave goods, and the work of the Peak Park in protecting this unique heritage.
Chaired by Dr Melanie Giles, this event will also welcome poet Dr Abbi Flint and artist Dr Rose Ferraby to discuss how archaeology can inspire creativity. Every ticketholder will receive a free copy of the poetry and art collaboration ‘Vestiges’, which has funded by the University of Manchester, in celebration of the exhibition. Drinks and refreshments will be provided afterwards.
This talk is part of the programme of events complementing the exhibition Brought to Light: The Remarkable Bateman Collection, which is open at Weston Park Museum until Sunday 15 January 2023.
