Dippy on Tour

In light of the current public health situation, we have suspended Dippy on Tour although you can still view a Virtual Tour of Dippy and participate in Dippy at Home activities.

We're hoping to reopen Dippy in Rochdale at a future date and are in discussions with the Natural History Museum and the next venue on Dippy’s tour, Norwich Cathedral, to decide the best and safest way for Dippy to continue his tour. We'll keep this website updated and share any tour news on our social media channels:

• Dippy on Tour on Twitter
• Visit Rochdale on Twitter
• Rochdale Borough Council on Facebook

Enjoy a virtual tour of Dippy and related activities

While Dippy on Tour is unavailable, we've put together a virtual tour of both Dippy in Number One Riverside and the Dippy Exhibition at Touchstones Rochdale and a number of activities for you to do at home. Enjoy the Dippy experience from the comfort of your home.
