Support our Community Archaeology Dig and help unearth Fulham Palace's exciting past.
This October we're planning to undertake a three week Community Archaeology Dig. With evidence that the ancient site of Fulham Palace has been used for up to 11,000 years, we're anticipating some exciting discoveries!
To help fund the dig, we have launched our first crowdfunding campaign. And the countdown is on to raise £15,000 in just 30 days.

Your generous donation will help ensure the dig goes ahead as planned and has a real, lasting impact. We want as many people as possible to get hands-on with this project, from visitors and volunteers to families and school groups.
The money raised will be used to buy tools and materials, health and safety equipment, specialist training from professional archaeologists and resources for learning activities and public events.
Get Rewarded!
Donate between £10 and £1,000 and get your hands on one of our exciting rewards, which include a Fulham Palace tote bag, an aerial photograph of the Fulham Palace site, a personalised WHS trowel, and a place on one of our hard-hat tours. Some of the rewards are limited so grab yours while you can!

This Community Archaeology Dig is an integral part of our £3.8 million restoration project, Discovering the Bishop of London’s Palace at Fulham. The restoration is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, who has awarded the Fulham Palace Trust just under £2 million.
Thanks to the generous support of a number of trusts, foundations and individuals, we are now only £245,000 away from raising all of the match funding needed for the restoration project to go ahead as planned. The donations raised through this crowdfunding campaign will help us get even closer to that goal.
