An immersive family experience at Scarborough’s Rotunda museum will see young climate activists from the town inviting visitors to make a pledge to protect the future of the planet.
Future Fossils, part of the Yorkshire Fossil Festival, will take children behind the scenes at the Rotunda to join a squad of ground-breaking geologists, discover a secret space currently closed to the public and experience the museum as never before as they investigate how to protect the future environment of their town.
Visitors will be met by the Chief Investigator from the Future Fossils Federation, who will send them on their way to find the secret space. Once there, they will hear the voices of Scarborough’s young climate activists and be invited to to make their own pledge to combat climate change.
Future Fossils is at the Rotunda museum on Saturday 14 September and Sunday 15 September. Each experience will last around 30 minutes, and slots are at 9.30am, 11am and 1.30pm. Places are limited, so advance booking is recommended on https://futurefossils.eventbrite.co.uk or 01723 353665. Tickets are £1 per person, and the experience is aimed at six-to-12-year-olds, who must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
The museum is open Tuesdays to Sundays (plus Bank Holiday Mondays) from 10am to 5pm. Entry is free with an Annual Pass, which costs £3 and gives the bearer unlimited access to Scarborough Art Gallery, the Rotunda Museum and Woodend café gallery for a year.
