Dear Friend of Archaeology,
Here at the Council for British Archaeology we are getting very excited as the preparations
for our first ever Archaeology in Wales conference get fully underway. The conference will
be held at Lampeter University in beautiful mid-Wales on the 13th – 15th April 2018. The
programme includes excursions to famous archaeological sites in vintage buses, the
Archaeological Pub Quiz of the Year and a formal meal with special celebrity speaker. We
will of course also be having a wide range of talks and presentations as well as hands on and
participatory workshops.
150 tickets will be available for the whole weekend with an additional 100 tickets for the
Saturday only and some 50+ additional guests on Sunday. Advertising will be via the
bespoke Archaeology in Wales Conference website, Eventbrite, the CBA UK website, as well
as through network emailing, CBA’s newsletters, social media and British Archaeology
magazine. The entire event will be professionally photographed and used in the future for
promotional purposes.
British Archaeology has a circulation of approximately 20,000: Council for British
Archaeology Members - some of the most dedicated archaeologists in the country; British
Archaeology subscribers - dedicated hobbyists, retired archaeologists, and budding young
archaeologists both UK-wide and internationally; Institutional subscribers - academic
centres, community groups and heritage organisations who make the magazine available to
their members, students and visitors; Retail customers - discerning members of the public
with an active interest in history and heritage who regularly seek out our magazine from
one of the hundreds of high street stores stocking British Archaeology magazine. The
magazine is offered as a print and digital version to suit the audience and is offered via
regular subscription, retail and on-demand digital.
CBA UK has around 5,000 members, its Facebook site has more than 7,500 followers, and
with over 76,000 followers on Twitter, the potential reach is vast. The vintage buses are sure
to get a few second looks as they take delegates around mid-Wales and on the Saturday
there will be opportunities for attendees to visit a range of trade stands at the University.
Delegates are expected to range from professional archaeologists, volunteers, members of
local societies, to those just with a fascination for Welsh archaeology and history. We have
already had interest from people as far away as Lincolnshire, York and Cambridge.
