This is Hadrian’s Wall County too! We’ll be looking to showcase the forgotten West during the Festival. #HW1900

To celebrate the launch of the Hadrian’s Wall 1900th Anniversary Festival, we present a short (22 minute) film exploring what might have happened 1900 years ago. Produced in association with the Solway Coast Business Group. #HW1900 We hope you enjoy it! youtube.com/watch?v=eqT1tP8a…

We’re looking forwards to our return - albeit a ‘socially distanced’ one!

“Things were about to get tense when the culprit who’d bought the last sponge stick from the Macellum was finally tracked down!” Stay safe everyone, remember to wash your hands regularly, even using that barbaric soap! Our thoughts are especially with our friends in Italy.

We wish our @GreenUnitUK ARCII new archaeology centre a safe journey up to Northumberland. Coming up overnight in 5-transportable sections and arriving at Vindolanda tomorrow morning. Exciting! #Vindolanda #ARCII

If you were ever in any doubt about the way history educators' minds work...the recent loo roll shortages have also brought a run of orders for Sponges-on-Sticks! 😆

We’re dispatching our Frumentarii (spies!) to the Hadrian’s Wall Networking Event this weekend at Carlisle Racecourse. (They’ll be in disguise, dressed as 21st Century natives! 😉) #HWND2020
