The Garstang Festival of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology is a celebration of the University of Liverpool Department and Garstang Museum past and present. For the first time ever, the Department is fully opening its doors to the public, giving people the opportunity to learn about and participate in the interesting research being carried out here within ACE.

Archaeologists use microscopes to discover clues about ancient materials or objects. Play archaeological detective in our bookable microscopy sessions and find out how different materials were processed in antiquity.
