Organised by the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology (SLHA), the event will include a series of talks exploring the county’s history by leading archaeologists.

A spokesman for the group said: “Come and discover how recent discoveries are helping to re-write the past. Developer-funded and research projects are shedding new light on how our ancestors settled in this part of the country, and how people in the past lived and worked.”
