Summer Holidays: Let's Rock! (and fossil)

Sessions are on Tuesday 19 to Thursday 21 August and Tuesday 26 to Thursday 28 August.

Let's explore what rocks and fossils you can find in Essex and where they may have come from. Bring along a rock or fossil you've found, enjoy getting sandy with digging trays, take part in some fun crafts and handle some real rocks and fossils.

Activities are suitable for ages over 6 years old. All children must be accompanied by an adult, who can attend for free, including entry to the museum.

Prices are staying the same as last summer! Museum members still pay just £5 per child when booked in advance (before 10am on the day).

Admission: One free adult per child/attendee, additional adults pay the museum admission fee of £4 unless they hold a membership.

Parking: Parking at the museum is free for up to 2 hours. Attendees of paid 2-hour holiday events can collect an additional 1-hour parking permit from the front desk.

Booking: If you have a login with Chelmsford Theatre to make event purchases, you will be able to use the same login details with us! Please visit our Privacy Policy for more information.
