Battlefields Uncovered

The Battlefields Uncovered Programme supports veterans and serving personnel to learn new skills, acquire knowledge, and build lasting connections. The programme features engaging online lectures, seminars and activities, allowing participants to explore the Battle of Waterloo and the history and archaeology of conflict from prehistory to the present day. The programme begins at the end of November 2026 and will run until April 2027.

‘They made the course feel welcoming and safe to take part in, even when I was not always confident or was dealing with pain and fatigue. The team explained things clearly, gave people time to speak, and made everyone feel that their thoughts and questions mattered.’

Our innovative programmes provide access to the archaeology and heritage of Waterloo, support recovery and wellbeing, and in turn, enable beneficiaries to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage with heritage.
