It’s now over thirty years since Time Team first brought their unique blend of archaeology and history to UK screens and beyond, with their celebrated approach of having ‘only three days’ to explore each dig location reaching millions of viewers around the world.
2023 marked a new milestone for the programme when it embraced family history research as a means to investigate the historical narratives of the people and communities associated with some of its dig locations. Armed with images and insights from the programme, Time Team’s very own ‘Ancestry and Genealogy Expert’, Dr. Sophie Kay, will take attendees behind the scenes of the show, providing a sneak peek into what happens when the worlds of family history and archaeology collide!
