In light of current restrictions put in place by the government to help control the spread of COVID-19, we’re sorry to announce that Dippy On Tour will not be reopening in Rochdale. The accompanying exhibition at Touchstones Rochdale will also not be reopening to the public.
We know this will be disappointing for many residents and visitors who haven’t had an opportunity to marvel at Dippy or were planning to revisit the superstar dinosaur. Dippy has, however, had a wonderful stay with us in the North West, welcoming over 120,000 visitors, including 8,000 children from schools in Rochdale and the wider region. It’s been an incredible journey and we’ve loved seeing the scientists of the future engage with this famous exhibit and the wonderful exhibition, both in person and online. Dippy has certainly made a big impression here in the borough of Rochdale and we’ll be sharing more information about the impact that Dippy has had in the coming weeks.
Get more information about Dippy’s natural history adventure across the UK on the Natural History Museum’s website.
