We are happy to welcome volunteers from all around the world with all levels of experience and ability, please do get involved! There is always plenty of work for volunteers, both in the field and in Finds Unit.

Whilst we try to encourage younger volunteers, anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian; 16 & 17-year-olds can volunteer to excavate providing a parent/guardian signs a consent form. We regret that it is not practical for under-10s to work on the site due to Health & Safety guidance. For adults under the age of 18 please email join@culverproject.co.uk for further information.
