About this Event

Bristol Palaeobiology Festival

Join us at the Wills Memorial Building on July 3, 2026 at 7:00 PM (BST) for a fun and fascinating evening all about ancient life! Whether you’re a fossil fanatic or just curious, this festival is the perfect chance to dive into palaeobiology with experts and fellow enthusiasts. Chaired by Alice Roberts, we will present short videos about cool discoveries at Bristol, and experts will discuss the fundamental questions: where does life come from, what colour were dinosaurs, how did mass extinctions shape modern life, how can we understand the wonders of ancient life on Earth without a time machine?
