National Science Week at Lyme Regis Museum includes an evening with Dr amues Gallois, Fellow of the Geological Society, who will talk and answer questions on the ever-moving landslides of the Devon-Dorset coast.

Large landslides are more common on the Jurassic Coast than in any other part of the UK, and erosion of the rocks between Sidmouth and Lyme Regis has produced the most spectacular active landslides in Europe. Dr Gallois poses the question, ‘Why do they occur and will we ever be able to predict them?’

Drinks from 6.30 for talk at 7pm on Saturday 10 March.

No booking necessary, everyone welcome FREE.
