North Pennines YAC is open to everyone aged 8–16 years interested in archaeology. Become a member of the North Pennines Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) and get involved in all sorts of activities, including visiting and investigating archaeological sites and historic places, trying out traditional crafts, taking part in excavations, and lots more. The club meet once a month on a Saturday at Alston Moor Recreation Ground and Pavilion, 10am to 1pm. The first session of 2026 is 17 January. We encourage signing up for as many sessions as possible to get the best experience. YAC is the place for young people who might want to become a professional archaeologist in the future, or just feel like taking up an amazing new hobby. It offers 8 to 16 year olds the chance to get their hands mucky, participating in archaeology and discovering why it matters. The clubs explore all eras of human history, including the Romans, Vikings, Ancient Egyptians and Victorians, and members take part in all sorts of hands-on activities, such as investigating archaeological sites and historic places, taking part in excavations, and working with artefacts. The club also run lots of craft-based activities based on archaeological periods and technology, with members trying out many traditional crafts. Please note that the location and timing of some sessions may change depending on the activities planned.

Volunteer opportunity to remove invasive Garden Lady’s-mantle

Join us for a practical day to help dig up and remove invasive Garden Lady’s-mantle (Alchemilla mollis) from an area around an Upper Teesdale beck. This area of Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines National Landscape is especially important for the population of rare native plants that are found there. If the Garden Lady’s-mantle is left to set seed, it poses a risk of spreading to further sites and possibly out competing and replacing the important native plant communities. This activity requires a good level of fitness as well as the ability to navigate uneven terrain. Training will be given on the morning of the event. Exact location will be sent 48 hours prior to the event. Suitable for all ages; children must be supervised by an adult. Please sign up using the Better Impact volunteer platform.
