Butser Ancient Farm
Nexus House, Gravel Hill, Waterlooville, PO8 0QE. (023) 9259 8838
Butser Ancient Farm is a replica of the sort of farm which would have existed in the British Iron Age circa 300 BC. Founded in 1972, it moved to its present site at Bascomb Copse in 1992.
The farm has buildings, structures, animals and crops of the kind that existed at that time, and research into the Iron Age and Roman periods goes on using the methods and materials which were available at that time, and also by applying modern science to ancient problems. The farm runs a number of day schools and courses for people interested in the Iron Age and in archaeology in general.
Normally opening to the public only for weekend events (May to September) and workshops. Special arrangements for parties. Guided tours and lectures can be arranged. Adults £6 Child £3, some concessions and discounts.
