Lectures

While our on site lectures are on hold we hope to start running a series of online lectures based around the continuing research taking place at Vindolanda.

These will all be fundraising lectures with any funds raised going towards the survival appeal to help the Vindolanda Trust come out of the other side of the global pandemic.

If you missed our Christmas Lecture with Marta Alberti our site archaeologist, it is available to watch with any donation given to the Trust (a link is included with the email receipt of the donation). An hour long lecture giving a great over view of the site and a look at the current excavations.

We will announce upcoming lectures on this page, through our newsletter and on our social media. These will be free for Friend’s of Vindolanda members and a small fee for everyone else. Each lecture will be made available to everyone later in year Via the Trust’s YouTube channel and our video blogs page.

We look forward to sharing more about our sites and collection with you soon.

Upcoming Lectures:
