Everything Else / By David Wilkinson

Just a quick update on the Ceilidh…

There are only 22 tickets left for this wonderful night out

Time to celebrate!

Celebrate the kid’s going back to school

Ceilidh 1st September 2018

Epiacum Heritage (a charity) is holding it’s first ever Ceilidh at Slaggyford Village Hall (Cairns Community Hall Slaggyford – map below) with local lass, Georgia Shorrock as caller and the awesome live Ceilidh band The Elgish Experience.

American Supper

This is an American Supper (Bring a plate of Savoury food and your own drink) and we will supply the band, the caller, the hall and the puddings (as well as sparkling good company).

TICKETS

Tickets Booked!

Limited Tickets available …only 40 36 30 25 22 tickets left – get yours now…

Places are limited due to the need for space for wild abandoned dancing and to give a bit of room for people like me, with two left feet. Once the tickets are gone, that’s it, no more and then you will be sad and sat at home on your own whilst we are all having fun.

Time to let your hair down, meet old friends and some wonderful new ones as you whirl the evening away.

(We are holding the Ceilidh to raise funds for the charity – and just to have a jolly good time. No need to dress as a Roman for this event!).

Or you can send a cheque or bank transfer for the tickets, simply email Elaine Edgar at

epiacum@gmail.com

or call her on

Tel no 01434 382080

Don’t delay as we really do have limited spaces on this fun evening.

Dance your little feet off at the Epiacum Ceilidh

Wondering what a Ceilidh is like?

Never been to a Ceilidh? Want to know more? See the video below and all will be explained (different band and caller). Its great fun and the caller leads you through the moves so you need to know diddly squat about dancing. Grab some friends and come along for a great evening out and a ton of laughs (beats sitting at home watching telly – you can record it :-)). Book now.

Want to work along side archaeologists at one of Britain’s most unique sites?

Everything Else / By David Wilkinson

Do you fancy working alongside archaeologists at one of Britain’s most unique sites? Epiacum is a totally unmatched, one-off archaeological and historical setting going back to mesolithic times, through iron age occupation, the Romans (obviously) into the Medieval and right up to modern times and everything in-between.

Epiacum From Old School House

Help to dismantle the dry stone wall that cuts Epiacum Roman fort in half. The wall was put up around 1843 right across the middle of the fort and we are getting together a team of people under the supervision of archaeologist Al Oswald who has made this project possible by generously donating his time over the fortnight, along with others, to dismantle the wall, identify the Roman bits and remove the rest.

Built around 122 AD Epiacum is the only Roman Fort of its kind in the entire Roman Empire and you can be part of the next phase of it’s history.

Volunteers will learn about the history of the fort and the astonishing history of area that has everything from Bronze age mining and burials, Iron age villages, The Roman occupation, medieval farming and death, right through to you making history in September.
