LUCKY PERSON! Of course it is – our dig experiences are designed so that everyone can learn and enjoy themselves, including newbies. Never fear – our archaeologists are on the ball and everyone is welcome.

Take a look at our Dig Calendar to see what’s coming up. Our excavation season usually runs from May to October, with sites across the UK and Europe. You can start your dig experience on a Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday, but bear in mind that we don’t dig Mondays, because even archaeologists need a day off!

When the lucky recipient is ready to choose their dig experience, they will need to send an email to hello@digventures.com including:

• Name, email, mobile number and t-shirt size
• Which site they want to come to
• Which day they want to start their dig experience
• Name of the person who bought the Gift Certificate

We’ll then confirm the dig by email, and send the information about where to meet us, what to bring, and how to make the most of the dig experience.

We strive to do our best to ensure everyone has a chance to experience archaeology, and have worked with many differently-abled participants on our sites. We are very happy to discuss special accommodations on a case-by-case basis and do whatever we can to ensure a safe and exciting experience for everyone. Please notify us before booking of any disabilities so that we can discuss options for participation.

Please note that our dig experiences do not include travel to the site, and usually require people to arrange their own food and accommodation. However, circumstances do vary on a site-by-site basis so do check details on the individual project pages.

Please also note that costs for individual digs are variable, particularly outside the UK. In some cases a Gift Certificate may need to be topped-up to cover the full dig experience. In this case, the balance can easily be paid by arrangement. Please read our Terms and Conditions for further information.
