Autumn-winter 2025-2026 training

Training workshops for autumn-winter 2025-2026

We’re pleased to announce our autumn and winter workshops, covering areas from beginner SRT, refreshers for those wanting a confidence-boost, pull-through techniques, rigging and rescue training. Some (where indicated) are two-day events typically providing one day indoors and one day underground. We’ve also got our popular geology tours with John Helm and our 2:1 intensive workshops for more personalised training.

Finally, we've got two new-to-caving ‘Venture Underground’ events (22nd November and 7th March). These provide an opportunity for anyone considering caving as a hobby to try it out as part of a welcoming and educational event.

More information and signup for any of the training workshops HERE.
