Make your own Stonehenge souvenir. Neil Burridge, Bronze Age craftsman, will be bronze casting at 12.00 noon and 2.00pm. See local flint knappers in action. Find out what the Stonehenge Riverside Project will be doing this summer. Bring along those unknown artefacts and Katie Hinds, the Wiltshire Finds Liaison Officer, will be on hand to identify your finds. Also come and see the exhibition Inspired by Stonehenge . This exhibition will explore the many ways people have experienced and been inspired by Stonehenge, ranging from souvenir guide books to rock music. The whole event is jointly organised by the Museum, Wessex Archaeology, Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire County Council Conservation Lab and the National Trust.
