Show times 12.30pm and 3pm
The show lasts for 40 minutes and tells the story of the birth of geology in a fast and furious romp through 60 years of scientific discovery. As the story unfolds. eccentric characters emerge from history: Mary Anning, Sir Richard Owen, Baron George Cuvier and the Godfather of Geology, Somerset’s own William ‘Strata’ Smith. They compete for fame, claiming the biggest, best fossils for themselves, and they grapple with questions that shook society: How come these creatures no longer exist? What does this tell us about our world, and where’s my hat?

Bring a picnic and enjoy the free shows and workshops.
