A ‘Bronze Age smelting hut’ designed by Ancient Arts for the Great Orme Copper Mines as a demonstration venue.

In the last 20 years Ancient Arts have developed a number of major projects to expand public engagement  and authentic reconstructed structures for a number of heritage sites.  These have aimed to:

• Improve the visitor experience
• Provide flexible, public and community spaces
• Improve the on-site resources of the sites
• Develop the marketing and educational potential of the sites
• Improve visitor numbers

Design and build:

We will undertake a feasibility study and design the layout of your ancient settlement and reconstruct the individual buildings using traditional methods; whether you require a faithful reconstruction of an ancient building or a usable community space with a strong archaeological basis.
