Museum Opening

Following the ‘Roadmap’, the museum expects to be able to open under socially distanced conditions from May 19th. At the moment, we hope to be able to return to our normal operations on June 22nd. This may change with the circumstances.

Between May 19th and June 19th we will be open Wednesday to Saturday between 10am and 4pm.

We have introduced fossil walks for bubbled groups up to five in number and they can be booked through this site.

From May 17th we hope to be able to carry out fossil walks for up to 20 people.

We’re currently amending our website to mirror the new rules. Please check this site regularly!

The museum is one hundred years old this year and as part of its birthday celebrations we have launched a new creative project Museum at Home to get everyone writing and drawing.

For lots of things to see and do explore our Make and Do page and follow us on social media.

We look forward to welcoming visitors back as soon as possible in 2021.
