Suitable for ages 5+, Rochdale’s Obsolete Animal Research Laboratory (ROAR Lab), is now open and looking for new recruits!

Do you have a curious mind and a good sense of observation? Do you have a keen interest in extinct and unusual organisms? Do you know your Diplodocus from your Brachiosaurus? Then we need you. Join our training programme taking place over the school holidays in 2020.

Help to develop new technologies while building miniature domes, a ‘solar powered’ hat and even a useable solar oven. You may even visit a Rochdale of the future.

Each session is 90 minutes long.

This event is free, but you must book a place using the link below.

Various dinosaur themed events are being held in Rochdale to celebrate the long-awaited arrival of Dippy the Dinosaur.

Dippy - a 21m-long plaster-of-Paris cast of a Diplodocus carnegii skeleton - will be at Number One Riverside in Rochdale town centre between 10 February and 28 June 2020, as part of Dippy on Tour: A Natural History Adventure.

Known to millions from its usual home in the Natural History Museum in London, the 292-bone skeleton will be used in Rochdale as the centrepiece of a display that will highlight local natural history and nature collections.

It is free to see Dippy and visit the Dippy exhibition.

Entry fee: Free, but booking is required
