Free exhibition celebrating dinosaurs discovered in the UK.

Did you know over a hundred species of dinosaurs have been found right here in the UK?

This summer, come face to face with the dinosaurs that used to roam the UK, from harmless herbivores to terrifying tyrannosaurs; from the smallest to the largest. Come and see giant dinosaur skeletons, touch real fossil bones and see stunning original fossils from 150 million years ago. Find out about the fossils from our own backyard, and the crucial role they played in the discovery of dinosaurs. See those earliest finds which gave rise to dinosaurs as we know them, all the way to the most recent and exciting dinosaur discoveries from the UK.

From teeth to tail bones, jaws and claws, food to fossilised poo, and giant skeletons, encounter real fossil bones from 100 million years ago, and find out who ate whom!
