Operation: Bring Your Rock! UK
A rock may seem ordinary… but think again! Every stone holds an adventure millions of years old — volcanoes, oceans, earthquakes, and ancient climates. Whether it comes from your pocket or a beach, it has a story to tell. Ready to let the rocks speak?

Come and join us at Otford Palace Tower, for a fun and educational half-term activity in the heart of the Darent Valley.
We will be running two drop-in sessions from 10am-12pm and 1pm-3pm for your chance to come and see some amazing fossil specimens, use microscopes, hear exciting short talks on rocks and minerals and to bring along some of your own rock and fossil collections, photo’s or heritage finds and learn more about them from our brilliant team of GeoAmbassadors.
