Details

Bring your children along to learn all about legendary fossil hunter Mary Anning and the incredible ancient reptiles she discovered on the Dorset coast.

We’ll explore her amazing finds in this fun, interactive session that’s perfect for getting children excited about fossils.

Little ones will get a chance to see Mary Anning’s very own notes and drawings from our archive, and learn some fossil hunting techniques of their own.

Each workshop session is tailored to a specific age group. It’s not compulsory to attend the correct age group, but we advise it where possible for a better experience for everyone.

• 12:45–13:30, ages 7–8
• 14:45–15:30, ages 9–10
• 15:45–16:30, ages 11–12
