Young Archaeologists Club

Canterbury Branch

About us

WHO ARE WE?


YAC Canterbury Branch, covering East Kent, is a kind of 'archaeological youth club', one of about 73 around the country which provide activities and experiences for young people, aged 8-16, who are interested in archaeology. It is run by volunteer leaders and assistants who are either archaeologists, or enthusiastic about archaeology.

Most of our meetings are held in Faversham , Canterbury, or in the Dover area . We meet on a Saturday morning for approximately 2 hours, although occasionally we meet Saturday afternoon, or on a Sunday, if this allows the branch to access a special activity or expert. There is no minimum attendance requirement to maintain membership, but we find the more meetings a person attends the better, as this enables them to build up friendships.

The Canterbury branch has been running for over 18 years. Please read the blog of our past activities to get a flavour of the opportunities members get to enjoy. 

WHAT IS YAC?


YAC is managed by the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), who provide training, insurance, and support for all the branches. All YAC Branch Leaders and Assistants have gone through disclosure (police) checks to be cleared to work with children and all activities are fully risk assessed. 

National YAC also publish an on-line newsletter and activities .


Annual membership for year starting March 2023 £28 for a child and £24 for each subsequent child in the same family.
