From Monday to Friday during the fortnight of the Festival of Archaeology, our team of volunteer archaeologists will return to further the excavation on the Bason of Water.

In 2023 the team dug in the Pasture to discover the edges of the Bason of Water and what looked like the start of an ancient cascade. This year the team will continue with this dig, hoping to uncover more of the cascade and uncover the viewing platform of the Bason.

Visitors will be able to see the dig in progress and chat with the archaeologists as they work to hear more about what they've discovered and what it means for the garden.

There will also be an heritage explorer trail so younger visitors can explorer archaeology spots around the garden.

Join the team of archaeologists as they continue the work from last year uncovering the Bason of Water and cascade.

Festival of Archaeology in the Pasture at Prior Park

As part of Prior's activity for the Festival of Archaeology we're offering visitors the opportunity to join a guided walk around the garden.

The walk will focus on the influence of water in the garden, much of it hidden from view. It will take in other features also not seen, but often in plain sight.

Walks will last approx 1hr, free to attend but normal admission fees apply.

Join our archaeologist for a guided walk around Prior Park learning about the hidden water ways in the garden.
