THIS summer there's an opportunity to learn and discover life, death and landscape from the Bronze Age on Dartmoor at the National Park Authority's High Moorland Visitors Centre in Princetown.

The centre, in partnership with Exeter's RAMM museum, is hosting a new major exhibition 'Going for Bronze'.

Running from now until September 29 the exhibition gives the public a chance to learn about ceremonial places from the past as well as the progression from stone-age tools to the use of bronze, which shaped the age that gave it its name.

A wide display of artefacts and superb private collections including a Hameldon dagger that has been named one of the most important prehistoric finds on Dartmoor will also be displayed at the exhibition for the first time.

Also linked to the special exhibition is The Treviskar project involving local Dartmoor Potter Joss Hibbs. Her focus was to show how a Bronze Age cooking pot would have been made in prehistoric times and her work and film about the production of the pottery will be screening at the exhibit. The High Moorland Visitor Centre is open daily from 10am to 5pm and admission is free to the exhibition.
