CBA Weekend Event

in

Each year the CBA holds a Weekend Event which in the past has coincided with our Annual General Meeting. The Weekend consists of a series of visits, lectures and activities focusing on a particular region of the UK. In previous years we have based the Weekend in Belfast, Liverpool, Leicester, Salisbury, York, London and Shropshire. Each Weekend draws together CBA members, trustees, staff and others, alongside experts on the archaeology of the region, and starts with the Beatrice de Cardi Lecture.
