    Site Content

    Our award winning volunteers receive two prestigious awards

    Our amazing volunteers were awarded the  Queen's Award for Voluntary Service 2021, for their exceptional support to the Ancient Technology Centre.  Do take a look at our video. We welcome new volunteers to the centre. Come and try us out for a day! 


    Our second Royal award is the Princess Royal Training award 2023! Awarded by City and Guilds for our outstanding contribution towards training and supporting our volunteers. You are never too old, or young, to learn new skills and the ATC welcomes new volunteers willing to get their hands dirty. You will be amazed at what you will learn on site!
