Your 2 hour session will take place entirely outdoors, where you will head straight onto the beach to hunt for fossils with your own personal Warden. We will take you to the best places for finding fossils, and give you tips and tricks on how to hunt for them. Anything you find on your walk is yours to keep!
To get you up to speed and wet your appetite for fossil hunting, prior to your walk we will send you out an introductory talk video, where the Wardens will give you an insight into the local rocks and fossils to be found here, and you’ll see plenty of examples of what to look for too. This link and email can often end up in your junk folder, so remember to check for it there.
The price is for up to 7 people. For additional guests, we charge £15 per extra person up to 10 people. If you would like to add additional people to your walk, please book the event to secure the booking. Then contact us to book and pay for additional people.
Children must be accompanied by a paying adult.
