@HistoricEngland Heritage at Risk Register for 2023 includes @DevizesAssizes . We will revitalise it as a vibrant cultural and community hub at the heart of Wiltshire and a transformational new home for the Wiltshire Museum.

Exciting opportunity!
We're looking for an Interpretation & Exhibition Design consultant service to work with our team to develop an interpretation plan and exhibition design specifications for our @HeritageFundUK supported Assizes for Devizes project.

We have submitted our Stage 1 application to National Lottery Heritage Fund. If successful, next steps to work with our audiences and planning how the building will work. Result in July. Stage 2 application in 2025. If successful, then we could be open in 2030. @DevizesAssizes

Excellent, fascinating object that deserves to be better known for its stories. I literally live just round the corner from find spot but was barely aware of it.
I think the county site record may be a bit off, see map from Reb’s great feature in the new British Archaeology 1/2
Watch free video of talk by Dr Rebecca Ellis (@MattockInHand) about the Marlborough Bucket - masterpiece of 1st century BC art posing questions about design, politics and identity at time of overwhelming change across Europe. @pittsmike @LtrPrehistFinds
