A year long festival of events has been planned to celebrate Hadrian s Wall s 1900th birthday in next year. To mark the commencement of the Wall, Hadrian s Wall 1900 will include a busy schedule of activities and celebrations including film screenings, lectures and exhibitions with the public openly invited to attend as many as possible. The project will also consist of walks around the local area as well as workshops to help celebrate the wall s big birthday. Created by both the Hadrian s Wall Partnership while working with local organisations, it s hoped the events can bring both local residents and visitors to the area together to celebrate the people who have visited the world heritage site over the last 1900 years.
Plans are in place to mark a major anniversary for one of Cumbria s most significant historical monuments, as details emerge on the possibility of a further archaeological dig at an exciting Roman find in Carlisle. Next year will be the 1,900th anniversary of the start of construction on Hadrian s Wall, and work has begun in earnest on preparations for a year-long festival of events and activities to mark the major historical milestone. The Roman Wall, the building of which began in AD 122 on the command of Emperor Hadrian, stretches across northern Cumbria and into Northumberland towards Wallsend in Tyne and Wear, and in advance of the anniversary, organisations across the north of England are joining forces to prepare to mark the occasion next year.
