Sit back and experience the final season of excavation at the Ness of Brodgar thanks to the world premiere of Time Team's special film.

Back in 2024, Time Team filmed the final full season of excavation at the Ness - now the resulting 75‑minute Time Team Special will have its world premiere in Orkney on July 3 2026.

Hosted by Time Team’s Dr John Gater, the screening at the Orkney Theatre, Kirkwall, will also unveil why digging will return to the Ness just a few days later for a small, targeted excavation.

The event is free and open to all, but due to expected demand, seating will be allocated on a first‑come, first‑served basis. There is no need to book - simply turn up on the night. Doors open at 6.30pm on Friday, July 3, with the programme beginning at 7.30pm.

For those unable to attend, Time Team’s Patreon subscribers will receive early access to the special before it becomes available to all on their YouTube channel at a later date.
