AMTeC Heritage Science CIC is hosting a community High Street Festival on Saturday 22 February, celebrating local heritage, conservation and community. CSI: Sittingbourne is in a shopping mall off the High Street, and will be exhibiting some highlights of recent projects, including a 6th century sword that has recently been in the news. Sittingbourne's history as a papermaking, brick making, barge building, and 'public engagement with conservation' centre is being woven into this 'Urban Wassail' event.
We are looking for volunteers/conservators who wish to get involved, either as helpers or exhibitors/workshop leaders.
Conservators are invited to contribute with a small table/poster/activity display of their own design.
