Events

The Royal Archaeological Institute holds a variety of events each year, including a monthly lecture programme from October to May and three Meetings.

  • From October to May, Lectures are given by distinguished participants in the Institute's areas of interest. Most lectures are recorded and made available on our website and YouTube channel.
  • Three Meetings (specialist site visits and tours) are organised each year. The Autumn, Spring and Summer Meetings take place in different parts of Britain and continental Europe.
  • Occasional Conferences are hosted in a new British location each year and focus on particular periods and regions of Britain or Ireland. These are often organised in conjunction with local archaeology societies.

Students wishing to attend any of these events may be eligible for a Cheney Bursary.
