Visitors can learn about the Iron Age and view historical artefacts displayed by Oxford Archaeology.

The organisation will also explain how these findings are helping to piece together St Neots' history.

An interactive experience with a re-enactor will offer a glimpse into Iron Age life, complete with models of Wintringham's roundhouses.

St Neots Museum will further set the scene with its Kimbolton coin hoard collection and "Treasure for the Gods/Iron Age Huntingdon" exhibition.

These displays aim to illustrate the social dynamics of the time, covering aspects from economy to religion.

The day will also feature various activities for children and budding archaeologists, including crafting small woven bowls and decorating cardboard shields.

Christine Littlewood, community lead for Wintringham, said: “Our Heritage Days are always popular and a great way to discover more about St Neots fascinating past.
