You're very welcome, Derek.
The festival is taking place on the 20th and 21st of June and it's all about the wonderful archaeology of the Burren.
And this is our second year of running the festival and it came about really because you know the Burren obviously is very famous for its wonderful landscapes and its wonderful flowers and of course its fauna but you don't really hear so much about the archaeology of the Burren so we decided it was time to change that.
And we're very lucky that we are sponsored by the National Monument Service and Acres Burren Arran.
So there's a two-day programme.
The Saturday is kind of a conference.
We've got six great archaeologists speaking, and that's a ticket a day.
So you go to the Burren Bureau website to get tickets for that.
And then the Sunday programme, anybody can rock up.
The more, the merrier.
From 11 to 4, we're going to have a day of experimental archaeology and family fun.
There are some tours and workshops that are bookable, but the main day itself, main displays and demonstrations and everything, you don't have to book to take part in them.
You just show up.
Hi, Richard.
How are you?
Absolutely.
And just to say, we actually have archaeology from the Mesolithic in the Burren as well.
So from, you know, the hunter gatherers we have from the end of the Mesolithic period, 6,000 years ago, we have evidence of hunter gatherers in the Burren along the coast.
So it indeed is a very, very rich archaeology wise.
And I think the way that it's been farmed over the years is kind of the landscape that has allowed an awful lot of archaeology to be preserved where in other counties it mightn't have been.
