A group of our budding historians had the exciting opportunity to visit an archaeological dig in Harlaxton this week!

Nominated by their teachers for their enthusiasm, effort, and passion for history, the children were treated to a unique experience hosted by local historian Nick Bason. Nick shared fascinating insights into the site, where the team is searching for evidence of the original Harlaxton Manor.

The children were captivated as they explored the dig trenches, spotting clues themselves and asking lots of brilliant questions. Their curiosity and keen eyes made the afternoon even more memorable!

A huge thank you to Nick for such an inspiring visit — it truly brought history off the page and into real life.
