Thanks for letting us know. I haven’t come across that issue but we will certainly investigate.

But yes, all of our events are ticketed through Eventbrite (including the free ones) so follow our Eventbrite page and you’ll get to see them that way too 🙂

We're planning our next visit! 🥰

And we are really looking forward to it! 🥰

Been writing about the experience of the Triskele Heritage online talks, which I started 5 years ago, for The Buildings Archaeologist book. Its been amazing. Directly led to getting published, touring, broadcasting & fieldwork.

The next talk is in a week:

We should add, if you can't be there live because of geography, prior commitments or other life reasons, then all ticket holders will get access to a private recording of the talk as well, so you won't miss out if you book :)
