Hidden Earth 2023

Hidden Earth Is Back!

We’re thrilled to announce the return of Hidden Earth for 2023!​

Our long-awaited return after Covid restritions and a host of other problems, we’re finally able to announce that Hidden Earth 2023 is back!

This year’s event is at Gordano School in Portishead, a short distance south of Bristol. More details will follow in the coming days and weeks so keep an eye on the events webpage and our social media pages.

What’s it all about?

Hidden Earth is the name for the British Cave Research Association’s (BCRA’s) annual caving conference.

This weekend-long event taking place in September every year is a friendly, educational, inspiring and social gathering of hundreds of cavers from across the UK and overseas.

The weekend is packed with lectures, with two or three parallel sessions running both days. Topics include new and old exploration from the UK and overseas as well as workshops covering cave science, research, technology and photography. There are competitions, games, videos and a trade hall with caving equipment vendors from across Europe selling their latest products. We also have our own bar (with excellent beer) and conference dinner with entertainment on the Saturday night to make this a great social occasion.

This is the premium opportunity for cavers from across the UK and overseas to get together, celebrate caving, and be enthused about British cave exploration and research.
