The Big Dig

  • Workshop

Carlow County Museum is delighted to present the Big Dig! 

The Big Dig is devised and developed by The School of Irish Archaeology and introduces young people to the next step in the evolution of creative and hands-on learning. Through the replica ‘Viking House’ and excavation site, children and young adults will have the opportunity to explore the Viking world through a simulated archaeology dig. 

The workshop gives children and young adults the chance to experience what it is like to be an archaeologist by learning how to excavate the remains of a Viking house.

As they dig through the site, participants will unearth Viking treasures and artefacts dating back 1,000 years. They will learn about the lives of our Viking ancestors as history is brought to life by qualified archaeologists. Our educational workshops offer a unique experience that will leave future generations fascinated by our ancient ancestors and eager to learn more.
