Fossil Handling and Autumn Evening Talks


Join us for the final traditional Fossil Handling Event of 2026 at the Rotunda Museum on Tuesday 27th October 2026. Open from 11am to 3pm, the table exhibition offers people of all ages a unique opportunity to meet local geology experts and explore a fascinating collection of fossils from the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. We look forward to welcoming you and your friends.

The next Rotunda Geology indoor meeting will take place on Thursday 5th November. Dr Ben Adams will give a talk entitled ‘Geothermal Yorkshire’, in which the history of geothermal exploration, the current national and global perspective and interesting projects in Yorkshire will be highlighted.  As always, the venue is the Conference Room at the Woodend Gallery, with the talk starting at 7.30pm.  Doors open at 7.00pm with a loaned private collection of minerals on display at the back of the room.

The Conference Room at Woodend Gallery can be found using postcode YO11 2PW or the What3Words location: ///spider.tennis.roses.  Parking is available on The Crescent, free after 6pm. At Woodend, as you approach the building, aim for the modern extension, on the right. The entrance to the Conference Room, a glass fire door, also to the right, is at first hidden from view. The door is open from 7pm. Members free; Visitors £3.
