Christmas party held 200ft underground in Mendip Hills cave

The Christmas party at Frozen Deep

These potholers really know how to ‘get down’ and party after holding their Christmas bash 200ft underground – in Britain’s largest cave.

The group – called The Tuesday Diggers – decided to hold their annual festive party in a massive cavern they discovered in September.

A gruelling hour-long descent led the five revellers to the Frozen Deep, a 98ft-high, 200ft-long chamber in the Mendip Hills, near Cheddar, Somerset.

The pals lugged Christmas decorations, party hats, food, mulled wine and even a Christmas tree through 150ft of narrow rock passageways to liven up the cave.

Caver Martin Grass said: ‘It was definitely the most interesting Christmas party I have ever been to."
