Leicester Uncovered: The Most Excavated City in Britain
Join archaeologist Mathew Morris from University of Leicester Archaeological Services for a talk about the city's archaeology and why, today, Leicester is one of the most excavated cities in Britain.

Leicester is an ancient city which has been continuously occupied for over 2,000 years. It was here before the Romans, an Iron Age tribal centre which grew into the Roman town Ratae Corieltavorum, which became the
Mercian bishopric of Legorensis, which became the borough of Leicester.

Royal site, market town, industrial metropolis, modern multicultural city; every facet of Leicester's rich history survives to some degree beneath the city's streets waiting to be rediscovered.

Event made possible thanks to National Lottery players.

Tickets: £5.50 Full / £3.50 Concessions available from Eventbrite.

The construction of Leicester Cathedral's new heritage learning centre has revealed a fascinating snapshot of life in Leicester over the past 2,000 years, including a possible Roman shrine, an Anglo-Saxon building and a burial ground in use from the late Saxon period to the 19th century.
