A special touring exhibition that tells the story of the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard will be on display at Alleyne’s Academy in Stone in July.
‘Treasure! Discovering the Staffordshire Hoard’ is a family-friendly, community exhibition developed by Staffordshire County Council.
The exhibition has been funded by a grant of £47,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to help take the story of the Hoard to audiences across Staffordshire and the West Midlands. The exhibition features high-quality replicas and reproductions, video, interactive displays, costumes and an opportunity for visitors to add their own thoughts and opinions to the Staffordshire Hoard story.
The Staffordshire Hoard exhibition will be open to the public in the academy’s Dove Studio on Friday 18th July, and from 21st to 25th July, 11am to 3pm. Access to the Dove Studio will be via the staff car park off Airdale Road.
It will be open to students and staff from Wednesday 2nd July to Thursday 17th July, 9am to 12.15pm and 1.05pm to 3pm. Staff and students from Stone Pyramid schools can view the exhibition during the above times but must telephone the school to make arrangements in advance on 01785 354200.
