Come and learn more about the warm chalky sea that covered East Anglia 90million years ago and the animals that lived in it. We’ll help you to ID the flint fossils that formed in the sea and you can take away a fossil ID sheet so you can continue your search for fossils when you get home.
This event will be held in a gazebo outside the Museum so please wear suitable clothing/sunscreen. The event is suitable for 5+years and because of small parts we can't accept younger children. Children must be accompanied by an adult. There are two sessions 10.30-11.30 and 14.30-15.30.
