We're away! Caistor dig 2012 has got off to a flying start under sunny skies. As usual, we're open to the public (9.30 - 17.00 seven days a week), so do pop over and see us. Our marquee is packed full of information about the project, not to mention a range of tempting merchandise. Guides will be on hand to explain the latest findings from the trenches.
Family weekend 18th and 19th August (10am to 4pm).
Don't miss this year's family weekend. There will be a range of children's activities, including face painting (sat) and a visit from a Roman cavalryman (sun).
