The Ancient Technology Centre
The Ancient Technology Centre is an outdoor education centre operated by Dorset Council, which provides authentic historical experiences, which is linked to the national curriculum. We believe that children should explore their surroundings, environment and history through an exciting blend of full-scale building projects and traditional skills and crafts. Our starting point is archaeology, and this informs the many buildings and activities that we offer. Learn ancient skills in an authentic landscape, such as: building ancient structures, blacksmithing and fire-making. Children and adults who visit us perform authentic, seasonal tasks which maintain our farmstead. We base our activities and buildings on archaeological evidence from a range of periods.
