The Jurassic Experience
/The Etches Collection presents the "Jurassic Experience”
The Jurassic Experience is an opportunity for visitors of all ages and levels of knowledge to learn more about the Upper Jurassic oceans and the life that once lived there. The museum will open exclusively for the event and includes a talk, a guided tour, use of our facilities, and an opportunity to ask Dr Steve Etches MBE about his passion for fossil collecting and how he does what he does.
A number of fossils will be on display for handling and examination and our powerful microscope will be available for those that want a closer look.
The Jurassic Experience is particularly suitable for families, as well as for adults who wish they’d had the chance to learn about fossils at school. No previous knowledge of geology or palaeontology is necessary. Events will take place on Monday November 4th from 6pm – 8pm and on Wednesday December 11th from 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Prices: £20 per adult (17+). £10 per child (5–16). Under 5s free
