Free exhibition entry throughout the Heritage Open Days weekends! Plus a handling collection on offer to show you some of the incredible items Creswell Crags have in their collection!

The exhibition is home to an interactive timeline of Creswell Crags, dating back 120,000 years. The museum also houses a collection of some of the most intriguing and fascinating artefacts that have been discovered at Creswell Crags, including Eric, the baby hyena, who's complete skeleton was found in one of the caves!

The exhibition also houses an augmented reality sandbox as a relatively new addition. This is a fantastic extra for encouraging children of all ages to interact, engage and learn about the geology of the site. 

£3 Parking charge still applies, as do cave tour charges.

There are lots more Heritage Open Day events happening throughout Nottinghamshire’s heritage sites. To browse more events, please click here.
