Celebrate Earth Science Week 2026 with a special "Ask a Geologist" session, held right beneath the tail of Dippy the Diplodocus. Experts from the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group will be on hand to chat about geology in our everyday lives, geological careers and geological science in general.

Examine specimens in super detail under the microscope, and see a selection of rocks, minerals and fossils up close. There will also be posters, geological references and free brochures of nearby geology trails to take away.

Just turn up on the day, ask your questions and discover the geology beneath your feet in Coventry.
