Fascinated by history? Got an adventurous streak? Bring your family for a fun day out in the Fellfoot Forward area with the DigVentures team.
As part of the Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership Scheme’s Uncovering the Pastproject, DigVentures is helping young people explore the archaeology on their doorsteps in this community excavation. You’ll get to take part in a real, live excavation together and help us to unearth the remains of a prehistoric stone circle. You’ll learn how to dig, make your own discoveries, and experience what it’s really like to be an archaeologist. Our team will guide your search for evidence and help you to piece it together as you try to solve a real archaeological mystery. It’s the perfect day out for any teen who wants to get outdoors and discover history for themselves.
Suitable for families or youth groups with young people aged 12-17 who live in either the Carlisle or Eden districts. Groups of one adult and up to two teens can book (you can make more than one booking).
This dig is being generously funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund through the North Pennines AONB Partnership’s Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership Scheme and Cumbria County Council.
