Jim

Is it possible to visit the dig at other times? I can't volunteer but it would be great to visit.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Jim, Sutton Hoo will be open as normal to visitors throughout June during our dig, and so you'll be able to explore the usual areas open to the public and see what we're up to! Some parts of the excavation may have restricted access. Visit the official National Trust website for Sutton Hoo for more details on opening times and other info. We have lots of exciting things planned for our members and wider fans to keep in touch with the dig as it unfolds, wherever you are in the world. Look out for more details very soon.

Ian mac

Have volunteered for Sutton boo be great to be part of the team

Wessex-Wyvern

Ohhh, I so wish... But I'm too far away and cannot travel 😢

Erica Long

Can't make it, but love that you are providing this opportunity!

Maria

Would love to do this one day at a dig near me 🙏

Patricia Amero

me too, but we can still keep each other company & stay up to date on here 😁

Patricia Amero

Just being asked means the world to me. My 15 minutes of almost fame 🤩

Whitby Solo

Is a confirmation of the Google From submission sent?

Amethyst Gray

Form sent, so my fingers are crossed!

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi, once you've completed the form, you should see a notice on screen acknowledging receipt.

Jessie Doherty

Same here! I won’t be able to concentrate at work today! I’ll be checking my email constantly!

Mick Holden

Thank you for giving us a chance to be part of this amazing site's story!

Richard Seaton

me too... wonder when they'll let us know!?

TimeTeamOfficial

Successful applicants will be notified in the next couple of days. Keep checking your emails and good luck!

Twinkle

Form sent but slightly concerned about needing a work visa coming from the USA. 😱

Jessie Doherty

Have they announced winners? Would we need a work visa coming from USA?

Mechanical Muse

So excited. I'm just going to sit here refreshing my email.

Twinkle

They have not. According to the internet, we probably do. Unless this counts as educational research?

Patricia Amero

I wonder if you don't need a work Visa because you aren't receiving payment & it's a short-term volunteer position. If Time Team hired you & was paying you a salary then I think you'd need a work Visa. IMO

Mick Holden

Have trowel...will travel😄.

Mick Holden

No, as a volunteer, you don't need a visa - just your passport. I volunteered with Dig Ventures for their three week field school last year - no visa was required. (I was even able to use my Time Team trowel!)

Patricia Amero

🥳 I can't do Sutton Hoo, but ... I'll be sporting a Time Team Wax Field Jacket & awesome T-shirt for the rest of eternity! Yes, I went for it & ordered both from the TT Store ... tons of fantastic things it was hard to hold back. If you haven't checked out the store lately, now's a good time! That was fun, 😁 Cheers! PS- loads of really great BOOKS too !!

Patricia Amero

I'm a member of DV as well 😊 but I've never been able to attend one of their digs. You have a TT Trowel? I'm so jealous... they sell out so quickly. I hope you get on Sutton Hoo 🤞🤞

TimeTeamOfficial

Nationals of most countries should be able to visit the UK as a tourist/short term visitor without requiring a work visa. We recommend all travellers seek their own independent advice if unsure about your own territory. Thanks

Daniel Imhoff

Did they say when folks would be notified?

Mick Holden

Thank you! It was an amazing experience. My goal was to learn as much as possible so I could come back and volunteer in the US. If you ever get a chance to join one of the DV digs - even if only for a few days, I highly recommend it!

Patricia Amero

Have toothbrush... willing to work the finds tent 😂

Mick Holden

They said, "in the next couple of days." Waiting is the hardest part, right?

Patricia Amero

They mentioned "Successful applicants will be notified in the next couple of days. Keep checking your emails and good luck!" in the comment section. Exciting times !! 😁

Jessie Doherty

Yep! Same here! I’ll figure it out somehow! Getting the flights shouldn’t be an issue. I’d show up with a travel bag and go buy a tarp if I have to!

Patricia Amero

now THAT'S dedication... I'm praying for sunny skies & happy smiles for everyone on site... extra hot coffee for the tarp townies 🤞

Matt

Would have loved to volunteered for this but joined as a member to late, being a Norfolk boy, I would be available as a reservist if needed.. 😀

Mechanical Muse

Will you tell us once you've done the drawing so we know when to stop refreshing our email?

Amethyst Gray

I am doing the same. I guess it means I/we have been unsuccessful :(, but I am always paranoid it may have gone into spam and I have deleted it. So I am following your question just in case it is running late due to numbers...

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi, thanks for the interest. We have now made contact with successful applicants. We appreciate how keen you are to join the dig, and apologies to all who haven't been selected on this occasion. Please do look out for future opportunities, and if any additional places do become available we will let individuals know. Thanks

Amethyst Gray

Thanks. Unless it went into spam and I accidentally deleted it I wasn't successful. But hopefully you will give us all the opportunity again another time!

Jessicka Catherine

Will still keeping checking my email in case someone cancels 😎

Mechanical Muse

Thanks for the update Time Team! I'm disappointed but appreciate it. Although I'll admit I'll probably keep checking just in case you need a backup! :) Congrats to everyone who go a spot!!

Amethyst Gray

Yes, same here. I could still jump into a spot if given a late chance...

Catherine Anderson

I would have loved to at least submit an application for this great opportunity. I have been dealing with a health issue that is now resolving itself. I hope to be considered for future volunteer opportunities.

Lynn O'Leary

I also wanted to be there. What a remarkable opportunity and how thoughtful that they offered such an experience. Maybe next time.

Jamie Goodman

What an amazing opportunity for those who got picked 👏🏻 Maybe next time eh? Being less than an hour away I'm planning to visit during that week anyway to see the site. SH is being dug for most of June, so will hopefully get the chance to find out what's been happening and and how the dig is progressing. Exciting stuff! ⚒️

Bob Blaskiewicz

This is going to be bonkers. Can't wait to see the dig.

Michelle Cailes

OMGoodness. Just watching the Sutton Hoo Ship Building show. It’s so very lovely to see and hear the dulcet tones of Tony Robinson’s voice. He really is Time Team.

G

One of you winners better do a vlog. Pls

G

I hope there’s no paperwork blocking participants from sharing online :( It will be fantastic for Time Team! ! Please someone know this.

G

How many people on here, who know they can’t possibly go, opened the application just to see what it’s like….

Belgarion V

Just saw this, gutted! I work opposite at Adastral Park and would love to help out if there’s any drop outs

Laura and Alex Tovey

I was born minutes from the site, I'd love to be a reserve volunteer!
