Date of 2011 Open Weekend
Confirmed
It has been confirmed that Open Weekend in 2011 will take place
on the weekend of 22nd - 24th July.
Now in its fourth year, Open Weekend in 2011 follows the success
of the past three years, in which over a million people across the
UK took part in a series of sporting, art and cultural

steps to becoming an archaeologist for the day. This year’s Open

one year countdown to the start of the Olympic Games
