As we reach the 1st May, our Archaeologist Claire discusses the traditions behind our Beltain Festival at Butser Ancient Farm and how you can connect with our festival virtually and support the farm.

At Butser we regularly welcome students on placements and projects, and have recently hosted two archaeology masters students from the University of Southampton Department of Archaeology. Here they describe their student project to develop interpretation related to our latest Stone Age Horton House and experimental archaeology.

Today we are very excited to launch our new online venture ‘Butser Plus’: a way to share and support the work of Butser Ancient Farm online. Find out more about what we’ve been working on and why below…
