We are very impressed with how many people were interested in attending the #MiltonDig. In all we've engaged with 3 schools and 100 volunteers, who's been helping with digging, finding and cleaning the finds. A huge #THANKYOU to everyone involved!

Brilliant afternoon at #Miltondig yesterday, all the staff were really friendly and helpful and my granddaughter Lottie loved it. She also said she knew I had enjoyed it as well, because my clothes were filthy when I'd finished! Thanks to everyone involved for a great afternoon.
