WEBINARS
As one of the core objectives of Roads To The Past (RTTP) is to promote and facilitate historical and archaeological activities for the local community, our 2020/21 programme of events such as community archaeology, walking tours, talks and visits that were planned were cancelled or postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We quickly realised that we must adapt and we were fortunate to apply for and get a small grant from the Heritage Lottery Emergency Fund that has enabled us to run a series of webinars that are free to anyone interested in listening to them. Our funding has now ceased but we are pleased to continue with our webinar series for the foreseeable future
