Events & Digs

All Digging Britannia digs and event announcements are posted in our Facebook group. This keeps the information in one place and means the latest dates, availability and event instructions are always where our members expect them.

Before you attend

NCMD insurance is required

Everyone attending a Digging Britannia group dig must have current NCMD membership and insurance. Please make sure your membership is valid before booking or attending a dig.

NCMD membership includes public liability insurance and the NCMD confirms that its membership provides protection when attending private and group digs.

Where to meet

Finding the dig site

Exact meeting points are normally shared with members using what3words, alongside Google Maps directions where appropriate.

what3words divides the world into precise 3-metre squares, making it useful for field entrances, tracks, parking areas and meeting points that may not have a conventional postal address.

How it works

Getting to a Digging Britannia dig

We keep the process straightforward so members know exactly where to find the information.

01 — Check Facebook

All upcoming digs are announced in the Digging Britannia Facebook group. Check the post for the date, event details, booking information and any site-specific instructions.

02 — Make sure you're insured

Before attending, ensure your NCMD membership and insurance are current. Bring your digital membership card if requested by the organisers.

03 — Navigate to the meeting point

Use the supplied what3words location and Google Maps directions to find the correct entrance or meeting point. Always follow the organiser's latest instructions.

Important: Please don't share exact dig locations publicly unless the organisers have said it is okay. Some locations are private land and access details are provided to members for the event. Respect the landowner's privacy and the organiser's instructions.
