Tickets: Adults: £5/£10 Child: £3.50/£7.50

Archaeologist, presenter, and filmmaker John-Henry Phillips will be coming to the Museum on 27th July from 1:00 - 2:30pm to discuss the history of Romany Gypsies in the UK, their heritage, and his fascinating discoveries.

Romany Gypsies have lived in the UK for over 500 years and have faced persecution throughout. In 2024, John-Henry, himself from a Romany background, led the first ever archaeological excavation of a historic Romany site in Britain. Featured in Digging for Britain, the excavation uncovered the little-known 'Gypsy Compounds' and 'Gypsy Rehabilitation Centre' sites of forced assimilation that operated until the late 1970s.

This talk explores the history of Romany Gypsies in the UK, the overlooked Romany heritage still visible today, and the unique discoveries made during this groundbreaking excavation.
