TWO exciting events at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village near Cardigan will offer a fascinating insight into how some historic hunting techniques have endured through the ages.

Experimental archaeologist James Dilley will be running a harpoon and fish trap workshop at the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority-run attraction, before giving an evening talk on Prehistoric Hunting on Tuesday, July 31.

Castell Henllys supervisor Sarah Griffiths said: “These events will allow people to learn about a range of ingenious hunting methods, some of which have been used for millions of years.

“James will bring these ancient techniques to life and show just how our hunter-gatherer ancestors used them to survive in the face of huge climate and geographical changes.”

The harpoon and fish trap workshop, which will run from 10am-4pm, will give you the opportunity to learn about how our earliest ancestors hunted and make your own bone harpoon and willow fish trap to take home. Tickets are £50 per person. Only suitable for those aged 12 and above.

The Prehistoric Hunting talk at 7.30pm will provide an overview of the changes and challenges faced by our hunter ancestors in Britain and Europe from one million years ago to 3,000 years ago. Tickets are £5 per person.

Booking is essential for both events on 01239 891319.
