Valley Arts Community Celebration Day of The Chew Valley Hoard

In January 2019, seven people were metal detecting in a Somerset field when they made one of the most extraordinary discoveries in British history. Just beneath the surface they found 2,584 silver coins, buried for nearly a thousand years.

This event by Valley Arts is a community celebration day in Chew Magna, where a small selection of the actual hoard coins will be on public display in the South West for the very first time. South West Heritage Curator Amal Khreisheh will be giving talks throughout the day on the history of the Chew Valley Hoard as well as offering an opportunity to see the coins close-up. Expect a wonderfully busy community day packed with hands-on activities, live music, storytelling, and lots more to keep the whole family busy and learning.

Free, drop-in, with activities for all ages.
