We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the Uncovering Roman Carlisle Summer Dig 2025 – and even more excited that you’re thinking of joining us on site! This year, we’re continuing our incredible journey into Carlisle’s Roman past, right in the heart of the city, where we’ve uncovered what might be the biggest Roman building ever found on Hadrian’s Wall – a seriously impressive bathhouse that may have even hosted Emperor Severus himself.

Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned archaeology fan, there’s a spot for you. You can get stuck into digging, help with finds washing, sieving, or even be a friendly face for visitors to our site shop. It’s all hands on deck and every single person plays a big part in uncovering history.

Have a look at the available sessions below, and if you’ve got any questions, just give us a shout. We can’t wait to see you in the trench!
