Festival of Archaeology at Prior Park

Prior Park takes part once again in the Festival of Archaeology, with walks and information on previous digs and projects. Information will be on display about previous digs in the Pasture, as will old finds from previous projects, including the dams project. On selected dates, a volunteer will be available to answer questions and discuss findings. You will be able to view a timeline of the last 33 years, since the National Trust acquired Prior Park, outlining its restoration and changes over the years. Walk the site and find interpretation on different areas of importance, such as the Bath House. There are also two pre-bookable guided walks with the lead archaeologist from previous digs, available to book on the walks' event page (22 & 28 July).

Arts & Culture

Exhibition: Journeys - Asafo flags from the Karun Thakar collection at Dyrham Park

‘Journeys’ draws on highlights from Thakar’s global textile collections to explore themes of migration, trade, craftsmanship, colonialism, global history and beauty. Through the universal theme of ‘journeys’, the exhibitions reveal the complex histories of objects, materials, and people – examining both tangible heritage and living traditions. Vibrant textile displays and film will reveal stories often left untold and show how these historic houses were shaped by global connections and colonial legacies. In the house at Dyrham Park will be vibrant Asafo flags. One of the most important West African art forms, they fuse European naval insignia with local traditions and symbolism, reflecting resistance and adaptation during colonial encounters. Displayed throughout Dyrham’s interiors, and placed alongside portraits and objects, they will deepen narratives of 17th-century global trade and colonial history embedded in the house.

Outdoor theatre: Othello presented by The Lord Chamberlain's Men

With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare himself, they present this great play as he first saw it, in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance. A powerful story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well – this stunning and heartbreakingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. The event will be at Dyrham Park for two nights - Friday 24 and Saturday 25 July 2026. Bring a chair and a picnic. We'd advise booking early to avoid any disappointment.

Fleetwood Mad - Dreams Tour

Fleetwood Mad are the sensational and exciting band recreating an authentic Fleetwood Mac experience. Created out of a passion for Fleetwood Mac and their music, Fleetwood Mad quickly secured their place as one of the "must see" Fleetwood Mac bands. With a huge flashback to the Peter Green era and all of the other big hits, (along with great visuals and costume changes of course). Fleetwood Mad take you on a 2-hour theatrical journey exploring the magic of Fleetwood Mac. Recent reviews include - “Wow absolutely blown away by the performance of Fleetwood Mad at The Drill in Lincoln. Stevie was sensational… she sounded just like her and had the same energy. All the band were excellent and I particularly loved the lone performance of Landslide just like Stevie, it was beautiful. Thank you so much and keep doing what you do.” Fleetwood Mad, the UK's ultimate Fleetwood Mac experience. Our professional five piece band brings the authentic Fleetwood Mac experience to life with our costume changes and renditions of the band's chart-topping hits. Website - www.fleetwoodmad.co.uk
