The aim of Lancashire Archaeological Society is to promote archaeology in Lancashire. We do this through talks and visits to excavations, museums and sites of interest. Although we are always interested to see your photos and chance finds, we are not a digging society.
Please see our gallery of photographs on our Flickr page here and check out our Facebook page here about archaeology in Lancashire and new and interesting items on archaeology generally.
We hold a mixture of Zoom and face to face meetings, on the third Friday of every month, the hall is open from 7.15 pm with talks starting promptly at 7. 30pm, and the evening finishing ( after tea and biscuits!) at 9.30pm, January to April and October to November. Our meetings are held at St Margaret’s Church Hall, Ingol, Preston, PR2 3ZU Map available here: Google Map Link
