In the autumn of 2021 we ran exciting series of free evening and weekend lectures on the theme of ‘Culture, Connections and Identity in Late Prehistoric Wessex.’ Now, in spring 2022 we are delighted to bring you some more outstanding guided walks. See ‘Walks’ at the bottom of the page.

Each November we hold our Annual Conference with a themed topic.
Unable to hold our face-to-face concert in 2020, and aware of the commercial risk of arranging on in 2021, instead we held an Autumn Lecture Series on the theme of ‘Culture, Connections and Identity in Late Prehistoric Wessex’. Over seven evening and morning online lectures, we were treated to news of the latest techniques, research and interpretations by David Miles, Peter Bray, Duncan Garrow, Janet Montgomery, Richard Osgood, Jackie McKinly and Colin Haselgrove. Many thanks to all our contributors and Julian Richards and Hella Echardt for valiantly chairing the session.
Our conference for 2019 was ‘Sunrise over the Stones: recent research into Neolithic and Chalcolithic Wessex‘ with keynote speaker Dr Alison Sheridan and was held at Bournemouth University in collaboration with the Prehistoric Society and Wessex Archaeology.
In 2018 we held our 60th anniversary conference ‘Dawn: New Light on our Earliest Ancestors to the Hunter-Gatherers of the Mesolithic’ at the University of Southampton in collaboration with the Prehistoric Society and Wessex Archaeology, with keynote speaker Prof Alice Roberts. Past conferences have included topics on Ritual & Religion, Warriors, Weaponry & Warfare in Wessex and Science in Archaeology (‘From Bones to Drones’) all with lectures by distinguished and pre-eminent speakers.
