We welcome submissions relating to lectures, conferences, guided walks, excavations, workshops, exhibitions, open days, and other events connected with the archaeology, history, and heritage of Kent. Whether you are part of a local history group, a museum, a university department, or an independent researcher, this is an opportunity to promote your event and reach an engaged audience.
Submissions may be selected for inclusion on the Society’s Events page to help raise awareness of activities taking place across the county and encourage participation and collaboration. When completing the form, please provide clear and accurate details, including dates, times, locations, booking information, and any relevant links or images. Our editorial team may make minor adjustments for clarity or consistency before publication.
