The Staffordshire Hoard will be brought into focus in a talk at Lichfield Library.

The event will see Staffordshire County Council archaeologist Stephen Dean lifting the lid on the discovery of Anglo Saxon gold near Lichfield.

The Hoard contained items including sword hilts, helmet fragments and crosses after being discovered by Burntwood metal detectorist Terry Herbert in July.

The talk takes place on May 19 and tickets costing £4 are available, with all proceeds going to the Staffordshire Hoard Appeal Fund. Copies of The Staffordshire Hoard book published by the British Museum will also be on sale.

For more information, or to book a place, call Lichfield Library on 01543 510700 or email [lichfield.library@staffordshire.gov.uk](mailto:lichfield.library@staffordshire.gov.uk).
