Petersfield Big Dig:
13-28 July 2024
What is it?
The Petersfield Big Dig takes place in Petersfield, Hampshire, from 13 to 28 July 2024. This is the second such event, following on from the success of the first Big Dig last year.
The event is being organised by Liss Archaeology, the community archaeology group for East Hampshire with over 130 volunteer members working under the supervision of professional archaeologists. We will again be carrying out new explorations on exciting sites in Petersfield, on land owned by the Town Council. Although the dig will be undertaken by our members, local residents including children will be able to participate to some extent and watch our progress.
Read here about how we prepare for the Big Dig. Members of the public will be able to watch excavations and there are activities for children - see the Events page for details.
​
The Big Dig is taking place in collaboration with Petersfield Town Council, Petersfield Museum and the Petersfield Area Historical Society. We hope to see you there this summer - watch this page for more details of the events!
