Family Fossil Fest
Come along to the latest Fossil Fest
If you have always wanted to feel the weight of a 50,000 year old mammoth tusk or get close and personal with a T Rex (not quite life size!), then why not come along to the Fossil Fest to be held in the Cotswold Water Park, on Sunday November 1st
Organised by the Cotswold Water Park Society, and back by popular demand the Fossil Fest aims to show some of the amazing fossil finds that the gravel extraction process has revealed over the years and how much we have been able to learn about life long ago in this area. Experts will be on hand to help identify any fossils you bring along, plus there will be an opportunity to buy beautiful fossils such as ammonites and take part in a competition to win your very own prize fossil specimen.
For the younger fossil mad fiend there are plenty of activities to keep them busy, from making fossils to take home to trilobite racing and trilobite masks.
The Fossil Fest takes place at the Cotswold Water Park Four Pillars Hotel, between 10am and 4pm.
Admission on the door is £1 for adults / £0.50 children under 16 – no need to book, just turn up anytime between 10am and 4pm. Refreshments available.
The Cotswold Water Park Society is extremely grateful to the following companies for their support : Four Pillars Hotel, Hills Group and Aggregate Industries.
