Fossils Galore Museum in March, Cambridgeshire, is preparing for one of its most exciting events of the year as renowned wildlife television presenter and adventurer Nigel Marven returns to the museum for a spectacular Sea Monsters event on Saturday (November 14)

Opening at 10am and running until 5pm, the event promises a fantastic day for the whole family, combining prehistoric discoveries, fascinating museum displays, special guests, children's activities, live music, delicious food and community organisations coming together to celebrate science, wildlife and local heritage.

With admission costing just £5 per person with online tickets or £8 per person on the door, the event offers an affordable opportunity for families to enjoy an unforgettable day out.

The star attraction will be the opportunity to meet Nigel Marven, the internationally renowned wildlife presenter, adventurer and star of programmes including Walking with Dinosaurs: Sea Monsters.

Nigel, who is also a proud patron of Fossils Galore Museum, will be joining visitors for a special meet-and-greet, offering fans the chance to meet the man who has inspired generations with his passion for wildlife, conservation and prehistoric creatures.

Alongside the museum's fascinating permanent displays of fossils, dinosaurs, Ice Age animals and prehistoric discoveries, visitors will have the rare opportunity to see a special one-off display featuring Psittacosaurus, an extraordinary dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period.

This special exhibit will be displayed for this event only, making it an exciting opportunity for dinosaur enthusiasts and families alike.

Visitors can also explore the museum's displays, discover real fossils, learn about the prehistoric creatures that once inhabited our planet and enjoy a range of hands-on children's activities designed to inspire curiosity and a love of science.

The excitement will extend beyond the museum itself, with the church next door hosting a fantastic selection of community organisations, entertainment and refreshments throughout the day.
