The Young Archaeologists' Club is the only UK-wide club for young people
aged 8-16.

The first element of the Young Archaeologists' Club is the UK-wide club.
This is based around subscription to Young Archaeologist, an exclusive
members' magazine packed with news, features, competitions, letters and
pictures from YAC UK members, and hands-on activities to try at home. YAC
UK members also receive the YAC Pass which contains special offers for
members including free entry or discounts at over 160 museums around the
UK, free entry at Cadw sites and places in the care of Historic Scotland
and a free entry voucher for an English Heritage property. Special
discounts at the British Museum Company website, PADI and Cotswold Outdoor
are also included in the YAC Pass. Each year YAC UK organises
archaeological holidays for members (for which there is an extra charge);
these are a great opportunity to meet other young people with similar
interests and to try out loads of hands-on archaeological activities.
There's also a membership pack with a certificate, badge and membership
card too. Membership of YAC UK is £12 annually for an individual child or
£15 for up to five children at one address. Those under 8 can join as YAC
Supporters and enjoy the majority of full membership benefits. Join via
the secure online shop: www.britarch.ac.uk/shop or call 01904 671417.

There is also a network of over 70 YAC Branches across the UK.  All
Branches are run by teams of adult volunteers who are Disclosure checked
and approved by YAC HQ. The Branches offer hands-on activities and tend
to meet once a month, usually on a Saturday.  Please be aware that being a
YAC UK member does not guarantee access to a Branch. Local Branches do
sometimes have waiting lists or ask members to book for individual
sessions on a first-come-first-served basis. Local Branches may also have
an annual membership fee and charge a small meeting fee to cover the
costs. To find out if there is a Branch in your area check out our list our list of contact details.
