Sharing the discoveries

Our discoveries during HS2’s archaeological excavations will be shared with communities, re-telling the stories of our past, helping us understand what made us as a country and the people who built the foundations of modern Britain. HS2 will link the past, present and future.

People of all ages and from all over the UK and beyond will be involved in the discoveries in a variety of ways. Expert lectures, community open days, and online channels will allow people to understand their history and see archaeologists at work.

We’ve taken part in a variety of events including the Festival of Archaeology and Heritage Open Days. In these events we intend on linking the past, present and future.

In fact, in our last series of Festival of Archaeology events, we had over 600 attendants at our online webinars and physical events.

Recently we invited the public inside our St Mary’s Field Museum where they were able to view the ongoing excavations from bird’s eye viewing platforms. Additionally, we had interactives to explore the history of the church.

 

We also run a series of online archaeology events, designed for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home. Our free online series will take you on a virtual tour of the route between Birmingham and London. Our team of archaeologists will reveal some of the stories that have been uncovered so far through photographs, footage and new imagery captured during archaeological excavations.

Watch our archaeology playlist to stay updated on our most recent finds.
