Hale Farm Dig
Whatever your age become an archaeologist for the day at the beautiful and historic site of Hale Farm.
We have teamed up with Hale Farm Campsite to offer campers and the community a chance to experience a real-life dig and unlock thousands of years of history!
Hale Farm dates back to the medieval period, with a C15th timber-framed farmhouse and lots of evidence of ancient iron working in the area.
So, grab a trowel, jump in the trench and help us unearth the mysteries of this Sussex farmstead. Our friendly team of professional archaeologists will
be there to guide your search for evidence every step of the way.
Everyone is welcome regardless of experience and all training and tools will be provided.
You'll learn how to dig, metal detect, identify ancient and experience what it’s really like to be an archaeologist.
