Redcar Rocks Fossil Safari

The team behind the Yorkshire Fossil Festival is going to be at the 2026 Redcar Kite Festival, and we want to show everyone just how amazing Redcar is for fossiling. Join our Redcar Rocks Fossil Safari and discover the Jurassic gems to be found on the Cleveland Coast.

We will meet at The Rock Showman's Booth, within the Redcar Kite Festival site on Majuba Road, Redcar. Our precise location will be confirmed shortly, but the colourful and beautifully illustrated tents of The Rock Showman's Booth (see photo below) are pretty distinctive!

Our expert guides will then lead you on a 15-minute walk to Redcar Rocks, part of the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SSSI, a Site of Special Scientific Interest for both its Ice Age and Jurassic geology. We will then spend around 90 minutes revealing the secrets of the stones, and helping you spot fabulous fossils. At the end of the walk, you can either stay on the beach and carry on looking for fossils, or return to the Kite Festival, where there will be lots of other fun, fossil-flavoured activities taking place in our Redcar Rocks zone.

The Redcar Rocks Fossil Safari is pitched at a family audience, and aimed at ages 6 and upwards. Everyone aged 6 and over who wishes to take part in the Fossil Safari will need their own ticket. These are priced at £15 for adults and £10 for children, and all funds raised go to Earth Science Outreach UK, our charity that supports young people and communities in under-served regions to discover their amazing Earth heritage.

Note: a child aged 5 and under can come along without a ticket if accompanied by a paying adult. Please notify us when booking if you wish to do this, so we know how many people to expect.

Before booking your ticket, please ensure you have read and understood our .
