Friends of York Archaeological Trust

Do you want to know more about life in York in the past? Would you like to know about the latest archaeological discoveries in and around the city as they are taking place, and perhaps even visit an excavation?

By joining the Friends of York Archaeological Trust you can do all this and also enjoy the Trust's award-winning attractions, JORVIK, DIG and Barley Hall, free of charge. You will also receive the Trust's magazine Yorkshire Archaeology Today, giving you up to the minute reports on all the latest discoveries as they happen.

In addition, Friends can learn about current archaeological research projects through themed day schools, lectures and visits. Day schools and visits in the past have included York Minster, aspects of medieval York, Hadrian's Wall, Gilbertine Lincolnshire, and weekends in Scotland, France and Ireland (see below). Friends also receive 10% discount in the gift shops at Trust Attractions, and 30% discount on all the Trust's academic publications.

All these benefits are yours for a single annual subscription. By joining the Friends you will be making a valuable contribution to the work of York Archaeological Trust, since the Friends donate every penny of profit directly to the Trust to further its important work.
