This event is ideal for anyone who is interested in becoming an archaeologist or if you just fancy trying your hand creating tools that our ancestors made 6,000 years ago why don’t you join us in The Braid, Bridge Street. The fun starts at 2pm.

The Megaliths of Northern Ireland exhibition brings prehistoric Ireland to life through stunning visual displays and a range of creative hands-on activities.

Megalithic tombs and stone circles can be found dotted across our landscape. These huge stone monuments were built by people living in Ireland around 6000 years ago. How were they built? Why were they so important? This exhibition aims to answer these questions and more.

Megaliths will be on display until Thursday, February 28. Admission is free. For further information on the event or exhibition please contact Shirin Murphy, T: 028 2563 5977 E:[email protected]
