‘Digging Deep’ is a three-part series of enlightening online discussions, exploring the shifts in our world that the Coronavirus pandemic is creating. Whether you are a parent, partner teacher, social worker, funder or simply passionate about supporting young people, we hope you will find the series interesting.
Jamie’s Farm are pleased to announce that we are bringing Digging Deep out of the virtual world to create an ‘in the flesh’ version as part of a small 24 hour get-together.
From midday Saturday 24th July Jamie’s Farm will be hosting our supporters at Lenton Farm in Wiltshire at Digging Deep LIVE. Full day tickets (£75) will include access to talks and workshops as well as a seat at our feasting table, before the evening of celebration. Evening tickets (£40) will give access to music and dancing. Camping will be available to all ticket holders at no extra cost.
