Young people
Discover the long and layered past and help shape the Palace’s future.
We are committed to helping young people engage with Fulham Palace through hands-on history, archaeology and volunteering. Whether you’re aged eight or 18, there are exciting ways to get involved and learn something new.
Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC)
In partnership with the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), we run the only YAC club in London at a scheduled ancient monument and site of significant archaeology! YAC allows young people ages 8 – 16 a chance to get their hands dirty doing real archaeology. From handling historical artefacts and meeting archaeologists to learning traditional crafts, YAC offers the chance to get involved with real archaeology while gaining skills and making friends!
From investigating historical poo to taking part in a real archaeological dig at Fulham Palace, each session has its own exciting topic to discover all designed to help young people develop new skills, build confidence and bring history to life.
YAC sessions are once a month and take place from 10.15 – 12.15. Young people attend on their own and should dress appropriately for outdoor activities.
Learn more about YAC by emailing our learning team at learning@fulhampalace.org.
