DinoCon 2026

Last year, we were in Exeter. This year, we're coming to Birmingham!

Get ready for a RAWR-some time at DinoCon! This event is happening on Saturday 25th July 2026 - Sunday 26th July 2026 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.

Come and meet fellow dinosaur lovers, learn from palaeotology experts, and maybe even unearth some prehistoric-themed goodies in our vendor hall. Whether you're a dino fan, a palaeontology enthusiast, a scientist, or just curious, there's something for everyone at DinoCon!

Dino may be in our name, but we delve into all aspects of palaeontology, not just dinosaurs!
