WELCOME TO
TROWEL AND TANKARD
A gathering place for those who live and breathe heritage, archaeology, and the thrill of discovery. We’re part newsstand, part guildhall, and part tavern, offering a space where history enthusiasts, field professionals, and curious minds can connect.
Explore the latest heritage news, share stories from the dig site, browse our curated shop, or join the Guild to stay connected with a community that values both the past and the present.

About
Our Story
Why Trowel & Tankard Exists:
Archaeology isn’t just about artefacts in the ground – it’s about people, stories, and the shared culture that binds us across centuries. Trowel & Tankard was created to bring that culture to life in a modern way: think of us as your local heritage pub, where conversations flow, stories are traded, and the community comes together.
