Festival of Archaeology - Climate and Environment audio tour

Saturday 24th October to Sunday 1st November

10am - 4pm

Normal admission price. Admission tickets to Butser Ancient Farm must be booked in advance here

This year the CBA Festival of Archaeology theme is Climate and Environment, something that we are becoming increasingly aware of as a society. During the Festival online and in person events around the country hope to share some of the stories of environmental change and its impact on human activity from the Mesolithic through to the present day.

As part of the festival we have created a specially written audio guide focussing on Climate and Environment during the periods represented at Butser Ancient Farm, which you can download or stream for free direct from our website using the links below.

Listen to our audio guide at your own pace using your mobile phone, and explore our reconstructed ancient buildings at Butser Ancient Farm to fully immerse yourself in the past. Find out more about how ancient people adapted to and shaped the changing environment around them.

We recommend downloading these audio files in advance of your visit, they can also be streamed directly from our website without downloading, however mobile phone signal can be temperamental at the farm so may not give such a good experience.

Please note: In Safari browsers on mobile devices, the download link opens the audio track, but doesn't download it to the device.  We have been advised if you are using an Apple mobile device with an iOS system such as an iPhone or iPod you will either need to download the files from your home computer and sync them to your device via iTunes or download them using a file saving app from the App Store.

We hope you enjoy the trail!
