About

Following on from last year's successful event, HOME OF HILLFORTS & HENGES is back in 2023 from 28th to 30th July.

There will be lectures, guided walks and other activities. The event concludes with an epic day of discovery and fun at Maumbury Rings with HENGEFEST on Sunday, 30th July.

The open countryside around Dorchester contains many ancient scheduled monuments and falls within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As well as demonstrating pride in our ancient heritage, Home of Hillforts & Henges aims to promote wellbeing and good mental health through appreciation and enjoyment of nature and the local habitat.

The event is part of the National CBA Festival of Archaeology 2023 and activities will take place at multiple locations across the town.
