King John’s Palace Excavation in Sherwood Forest
Prices: £75 per person per day
Mercian Archaeological Services offers Archaeological Experience Days, giving participants the opportunity to get involved in real archaeological fieldwork under expert supervision. These hands‑on experiences take place at sites such as the historic King John’s Palace excavation in Sherwood Forest, where visitors can learn excavation techniques, handle artefacts and contribute to ongoing research projects. Participants begin with introductions and site tours before joining professional archaeologists to excavate, discover finds and gain insight into past landscapes and cultures. The experience days are suitable for beginners and make engaging activities or unique gifts for friends and family.
