FLAG Fen Bronze Age Centre is preparing to open its doors for the first time in 2007 this month.
The site, which is one of the most important of its kind in Europe, will open to visitors tomorrow.
This year is the 25th anniversary of the site being discovered, and there is a packed programme of events and workshops for adults and children, nature lovers, crafts people and budding archaeologists alike.
About 4,000 years ago ancient Britons lived around the Flag Fen basin on the outskirts of modern Peterborough.
During the last 25 years archaeologists have revealed some fascinating evidence about how our ancestors lived, worked and worshipped on the site.
The centre’s general manager Georgia Butters said: “We have a packed programme of events that we hope will be a real success this year.
“Coming to one of our events is the perfect opportunity to support our charity while having great fun at the same time.
“We have a really unusual range of workshops arranged for this year.”
