Woking Palace Excavation 2015
In September 2015 the Friends of Woking Palace and archaeologists from the Surrey County Archaeological Unit will be returning to Woking Palace for a sixth season of excavations as part of the Woking Palace and its Park Project.
Woking Palace and its Park is a 3 year Heritage Lottery Funded community-based project, led by the Friends of Woking Palace, which aims to cast light on the development of Woking Palace and its surrounding 590 acre deer Park, from its earliest days right through to modern times, including its glorious Tudor heyday.
This year’s excavations will run from Wednesday 9th September until Friday 2th September, excluding Mondays and Tuesdays. A special open day will be held on Sunday 27th September from 11am when guided tours of the excavations will run until 4pm.
Open Day 27th September 2014
Tours of excavated trenches show new parts of the Palace, stalls and activities.
Visit us on the 27th!
