Organised by the Society of Antiquaries of London, this day conference explores the creation, history, veneration, interpretation, and preservation of relics over the centuries. Taking place at Burlington House in London on 11 September 2026, the event examines how sanctity is expressed through material objects and spaces, and how relics maintain a long 'afterlife' etched into landscapes and cultural memory. It is designed for those involved in church-conservation, pilgrimage, archaeology, antiquarianism, curation, theology, art-history, and object-biography.

Who should attend

This conference will be relevant to those involved in church-conservation, pilgrimage and anyone with an interest in archaeology, antiquarianism, curation, theology, art-history or object-biography.
