Flag Fen is one of Europe's most important Bronze Age sites; this archaeological jewel is situated on the outskirts of the Cathedral City of Peterborough. This Bronze Age religious site pre dates the Cathedral by nearly 2000 years. The Museum of the Bronze Age contains artefacts found on the site over the last 20 years of excavating.

The park is entered through a uniquely designed 21st Century roundhouse; this visitor centre is your portal to the past, with information boards, and pictures. Once out on the park you will be stepping back into the past, and have the chance to see how your ancestors used to live, as you explore the Bronze Age and Iron Age roundhouses in their landscape setting.

The Preservation Hall contains undercover archaeology, along with a 60 metre mural painting depicting life in the Bronze Age in the Fens. During the summer months, archaeologist's can often be seen at work, uncovering Peterborough's past.

Workshops and Lectures are among our full programme of events, which include Sword and Bronze Casting, Flint Knapping, Theatre in the Park, and our Annual big event, which attracts visitors from across the country. If you would like details please contact us.
