The History of Butser Ancient Farm & the Celtic Beltain Festival - Part 1

Nestled in the hills of the South Down National Park, Butser Ancient Farm is a historical research site that has given archaeologist the unique opportunity to study life in ancient Britain. The farm displays ongoing constructions of ancient buildings based on real sites, dating from the Stone Age through the Iron Age and Roman Britain, and finishing with the Anglo-Saxons. There is a full programme of special events including fantastic Celtic festivals and workshops, such as metallurgy, Iron Age cooking, bushcraft skills or felting. It’s a truly memorable family day out on the Hampshire/West Sussex border. In this Out & About Podcast (part 1 or 4) we spoke to the director Maureen Page and discovered how long the site has been running and what is the Celtic Beltain Festival, which has been practised in Britain for 1,000's of years. http://www.butserancientfarm.co.uk/ About Focus:- If you are interested in a corporate or promotional video or ISDN audio services, please contact us on (+44) 23 8044 8822 or [email protected] For more information, please see our websites: http://www.focusbiz.co.uk http://www.focus-studios.co.uk or keep in touch via Twitter   / focusbiz
