Win a chance to re-chalk the Cerne Abbas Giant
Dorchester, Dorset, United Kingdom
Aim
Enter the National Trust's fundraiser and win the chance of a money-can't buy experience to re-chalk the Cerne Abbas Giant!
Win the chance to be part of the giant re-chalking event in 2026!
Next summer, the National Trust is inviting ten supporters - plus a guest each - to take part in the re-chalking of the Cerne Abbas Giant. As part of our team of rangers and volunteers, this is your chance to get up close and personal to Britain's legendary 55 metre tall Giant.
You'll either dig out the old chalk from the Giant's outline and prepare him for the new chalk, or mix chalk with water and pack the outlines to help bring to life his bold shape.
This really is a money-can't-buy opportunity! We have ten prizes to give away as spaces are strictly limited to ensure everyone gets a hands-on role, expert guidance, and a chance to witness conservation and restoration in action.
To be in with a chance of winning one of ten re-chalking experiences, enter the prize draw before midnight on Sunday 4th January 2026.
Please note, the activity takes place on a hillside with a steep gradient and the work may be physically demanding (spade work and digging is a possibility along with groundwork and filling of chalk in the lines) and will involve hill climbing. Dogs are not permitted in the area when work is being carried out on the Giant.
Enter now and support a giant opportunity for nature!
The National Trust have looked after the Cerne Abbas Giant and the small plot of land he calls home since 1920. Now we have the chance to purchase and care for the surrounding 340 acres (138 hectares) – an area the size of 190 football pitches, or big enough to house 550 Cerne Abbas Giants – to safeguard the Giant's lair and the surrounding area for wildlife and heritage to flourish.
By entering our prize draw, you'll be helping us purchase and care for this nationally important site on behalf of the nation.
Through the prize draw you'll help our conservation experts and ranger teams to:
- support threatened species: Giant Hill Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and its chalk grassland is home to threatened species of butterfly, including Duke of Burgundy, Marsh Fritilliary and Adonis Blue. Bringing the site into our care will protect existing populations of nationally important species and optimise land management to enable them to flourish.
- create opportunities for people: As we plan new archaeological research and ways to fill Cerne Abbas with nature, we’ll start by listening to the ideas and priorities of the local community, our supporters and visitors, local schools, businesses, conservation groups and landowners. With your support, we want communities to feel a closer bond than ever with this cherished local landmark.
- create nature-rich habitat: Creating a nature-rich landscape by re-nourishing the soil and planting trees will store carbon, support wildlife and flora, and sustain healthy rivers. Chalk grassland is one of the most biologically rich and diverse habitats in the UK. So, careful management of Giant Hill SSSI is at the heart of this vision.
'This is a very rare opportunity to protect a huge swathe of beautiful and biodiverse countryside surrounding the Cerne Abbas Giant. Please join me in supporting this important appeal.' Sir Stephen Fry
