Welcome!

 

Hey everyone!

We are ANARC (Ancient History, Archaeology and Conservation). We hold weekly socials (drinking or non-drinking) and are a thriving community of Archaeologists, Ancient Historians, and Conservationists .  
Check out our Instagram (@anarc_cu) for updates on upcoming events, people we're working with and more!
Looking forward to seeing you all at socials!

Meet your 2026/2027 committee!  (Left to right) Niala (Vice president), Sophie (President), Peter (Secretary), Evie (Wellbeing officer), Aled (Welsh Officer), Jude (Social secretary) and Bobby (Treasurer)


FAQs

  • What events do you guys do? Well, kind of everything! From pub crawls to pub quizzes, trips, winter and summer balls, guest speakers, arts and crafts and study sessions, we love doing a range of events. We try keep a balance of drinking and non drinking socials so there is something for everyone to enjoy! We also frequently do collab events with other societies. In the past these have included history soc, theology on tap, comedy soc and taylor swift society!
  • Do I need to be an ancient history, archaeology or conservation student to attend events? Nope! While ANARC is a great way to meet people on ANARC courses, anyone can join! It's a great way to also meet people outside your course (our own treasurer does a politics course!)
