At Dig It, we believe that community activities should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

Tickets are £35 per person, which includes all materials, refreshments and your finished wreath.
We also offer a sliding-scale ticket option for anyone who may find the full cost difficult to afford. All proceeds will go towards delivering our community projects to those who need it most.

🌟 More than just wreath making
Our community allotment is a place where people come together, connect with nature, make friendships and enjoy being part of something special.

This festive workshop is an opportunity to slow down during the busy Christmas season, get creative, enjoy some cake and conversation, and celebrate the joy of community.

Come on your own, bring a friend or make some new ones along the way!.

Spaces are limited, so book your place and join us for some festive fun! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/festive-wreath-making-at-dig-it-community-allotment-tickets-2004313619992?aff=oddtdtcreator

Huge thanks to ITVET!!

Harry, Becky, Alexandra, Owen, and Lewis spent a very rainy day volunteering for our charity.

The team helped clear our greenhouse area and make it wheelchair accessible. We are unbelievably grateful for you all and cannot wait to welcome you back for a cuppa and a chance to see the space you have created in action.

Thank you so much from all of us at Dig It 💚

Thank you Chesterford Research Park for welcoming Dig It today!

We are delighted to have been invited to the restaurant area of this lovely site today to meet employees and companies within the park that are interested in volunteering or learning more about the work we do!

Brianna Lewis and the team have already made a huge difference by donating their used coffee grinds to our site. By doing this Chesterford Research Park are helping to keep valuable organic material out of waste while giving it a second life in our compost. A simple, environmentally friendly way to turn your daily coffee into something that helps our allotment grow!

Pop by and say hi today if your on site and want to know more about our wonderful charity and the work we do in the local community!
