Hallaton Museum and Hallaton Church Restoration Trust will be running events in Hallaton between Saturday 19th July and Sunday 3rd August.
Hallaton has been the destination of Iron Age travellers, medieval pilgrims, as well as modern day bottle kickers. We will be showing how the discoveries by community archaeologists and local historians have uncovered our history. In addition, we will be exhibiting the work in progress on a tapestry that tells the story of St Morrell through this novel media.
On weekends “Café in the Church” will offer lunch, cakes and cream teas from 12 noon to 4pm.
Hallaton Museum will be open on weekends from 12pm to5pm, proudly exhibiting its new replica of the Roman helmet found as part of the Hallaton Treasure, alongside the Hallaton Treasure and the renewed Bottle Kicking displays. This year’s museum exhibition is Ale Tales – the origins and history of Hallaton’s pubs
In addition we will be organising the following Guided walks and Talks.
