Fossils and Dinosaurs gallery

VENUE HIRE

Unique events, surrounded by history.

We’d struggle to think of a more unique space to hold an event than the Fossils and Dinosaurs gallery. Who doesn’t want to tie the knot beneath a 66 million year old Tyrannosaurus rex? Fossils and Dinosaurs is perfectly located with an entrance on Coupland Street and overlooking the Old Quad – the oldest part of the University. This space is beloved by people of all ages. It is perfect for drinks receptions, parties and wedding ceremonies with a difference. There are toilets in the basement below and of course everything is accessible step-free.

Capacity: 100 for a drinks reception, 85 for a wedding ceremony.
