May half-term Fossil Forage (for ages 6 years+)

Join our staff for a stroll on the beach in the spring sunshine looking for fossils and other treasures.

We'll start in our exhibition upstairs at the Old Coastguard Station on the slipway to the beach to hear about how fossils were formed, find out about the different folk names the fossils have and what exactly a Devil’s Toenail really is. Then you'll head out for a short, guided stroll on the beach to find some for yourself.

£3.00 per child. Limited places, so booking is essential. Call 01947 885900. Fossil Hammers not permitted.

Refreshments available at the Old Coastguard Station.

Please note: Sturdy footwear & appropriate outdoor clothing. A Bag to put any finds into. No fossil hammers required or permitted.

Meet upstairs in the Old Coastguard Station, The Dock, Robin Hoods Bay. No parking or car access in the lower village. Parking at Pay-and-display car parks at the top of the village.

The beach is accessed via a steep downhill walk through the village then a cobbled ramp or steps. Uneven surfaces on the beach.
