AND SIGNING AFTER THE LECTURE

This lecture is aimed at children from six or seven upwards, however anyone and everyone is welcome. We explore what is and is not a dinosaur; how to dig up a dinosaur; what we know about their running, feeding, colours, behaviour, and babies.

The lecture shows the latest science, but includes plenty of interaction for young enthusiasts to tell us what they know.
