Staff Trip

We had a great afternoon on the machinery. It was a challenge but the staff were brilliant and help you use the equipment throughout your session. It was fun and motivates you to come back and try more machines. Thanks to all the staff.

Despite my initial disappointment at not having a car available to crush (!) we had a really fun afternoon digging holes, stacking tyres, playing basketball and doing epic wheelies. Colin was a patient and hilarious instructor especially when our moves went a bit haywire. (Move...More

Absolutely! There is something for every age and every ability at Dig This! Even the little tots under 5 who aren't quite old enough for the real diggers can have a ball in our sandpit!
