No previous art experience is necessary just have fun!
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.
